lozenge

Medicated dissolving candy

A lozenge is a small, typically diamond-shaped tablet meant to dissolve slowly in the mouth, usually medicated: a cough lozenge, throat lozenges.

The word also refers to the diamond shape itself, appearing in heraldry, textiles, and decorative patterns.

The tiles were arranged in a lozenge pattern.
