morphia
Potent sedative drug
Morphia is an older term for morphine, the powerful painkiller derived from opium.
The word appears mainly in Victorian and Edwardian contexts: The doctor administered morphia for the pain.
Modern medical usage strongly prefers morphine, making morphia sound literary or dated.
