Triacle (n.) - a remedy, healing medicine.
Loke thow suffre hym to seye, and sithen lere it after;
For thus witnesseth his word; worche thow therafter.
For Truthe telleth that love is triacle of hevene:
May no synne be on hym seene that that spice useth.- Langland, William: The vision of Piers Plowman (1377-1379)
