CONDITURA, a pickle, a preserve, sauce, seasoning, marinade; the three terms, C., CONDITUM and CONDIMENTUM are much the same in meaning, and are used indiscriminately. They also designate sweet dishes and desserts of different kinds, including many articles known to us as confections. Hence the German, KONDITOR, for confectioner, pastry cook. Nevertheless, a general outline of the specific meanings of these terms may be gathered from observing the nature of the several preparations listed under these headings, particularly as follows: —— ROSATUM, ℞ [4]; (cf. No. [5]) —— MELLIS, ℞ [17]; —— UVARUM, ℞ [20]; —— MALORUM PUNICORUM, ℞ [21]; —— COTONIORUM, ℞ [19]; —— FICUUM, PRUNORUM, PIRORUM, ℞ [20]; —— MALORUM MEDICORUM, ℞ [21]; —— MORORUM, ℞ [25]; —— OLERUM, ℞ [26]; —— RUMICIS, ℞ [27]; —— LAPAE, ℞ [27]; —— DURACINORUM, ℞ [29]; —— PRUNORUM, etc., ℞ [30]
—in most of these instances corresponds to our modern “preserving”
