2021 January 8, Murakawa Hiroji, “‘Gohon!’ to ieba Ryugakusan, ‘kon kon kon!’ nara kodein ka [Saying ‘Gohon!’ suggests Ryugakusan, but does that ‘cough cough cough!’ mean codeine?]”, in Nikkei medical:
- オピウムとオピオイド
モルヒネやコデインはオピオイドに含まれます。 「オイド」とは小井戸ではなく、「みたいなもの」という接尾辞。 「オピウム」は「アヘン」のこと。- Opiumu to opioido
Moruhine ya kodein wa opioido ni fukumaremasu. “oido” to wa Oido de wa naku, “mitai na mono” to iu setsubiji. “Opiumu” wa “ahen” no koto. - Opium and opioids.
Morphine and codeine are in the class of opioids. This -oid does not refer to Oido, but is a suffix meaning “similar thing”. Opium is ahen.
