硇砂

Meanings

Etymology

Phono-semantic matching of Persian نشادر (nošâdor, nošâder, “sal ammoniac”); compare also Arabic نُشادِر (nušādir), نُوشادِر (nūšādir), Uyghur نۆشۈدۈر (nöshüdür), Russian нашаты́рь (našatýrʹ), Sanskrit नवसार (navasāra), नवसादर (navasādara). In the Compendium of Materia Medica, botanist Li Shizhen erroneously explained the 硇 (náo) as equivalent to 惱 (nǎo, “annoyed”), in the sense that the substance would supposedly cause one to be mentally “perturbed” (硇亂) when ingested.
