Wednesday, January 17th drastic Don't Breathe Word of the Day:
The only common cousin of this adjective in English is one you probably wouldn't guess: it's drama. They're both ultimately from a Greek word meaning "do" or "act." In the case of drastic, the more immediate root meant "active"; the adjective originally applied to medicines that acted with force or violence.
