amethyst
noun
am·e·thyst ˈa-mə-thəst 
-(ˌ)thist
Did you know?
Gems were once believed to have magical qualities. An amethyst, for example, was supposed to have the power to prevent or cure drunkenness in its wearer. For this reason the Greeks gave it the name amethystos, which comes from the prefix a-, meaning “not,” and methyein “to be drunk.”
