pill
Compact medicine form
A pill is a small, smooth tablet containing medicine or food supplements that is typically swallowed.
A modifier often specifies what is being treated (birth control pill, sleeping pill, vitamin pill).
The pill, in proper context, refers to contraception for women by pill.
A bitter pill (to swallow) is something unpleasant that must be done or endured.
If you call a person a pill, it means they are tedious or unadventurous.
