materia
Matter or material
Materia is Latin for matter or material, appearing in English primarily in fixed phrases. *Materia medica* refers to the body of knowledge about medicinal substances—the drugs, herbs, and preparations used in treatment.
In the Final Fantasy video game series, materia are magical orbs that grant abilities to characters, a usage now familiar to gamers: I equipped the healing materia.
