1. 1

    Liniment is a thin, liquid you rub into the skin when a muscle feels sore or stiff — after sport, or when your back . It is for the outside of the body, not a drink, and you work it in with your hands rather than leaving a thick cream sitting on top. It often smells strong (mint, camphor, that hot-then-cool feeling). Older speakers and sports trainers still use the word; younger people may just say muscle rub or name the bottle. In a pharmacy it sits with things you put on skin, not with medicine you swallow.

    擦劑、外用藥油(紅花油、正骨水那一類)
