Today's Word "constitutional"
"A wise physician does not simply give a tonic for a diseased limb, or a high fever; the patient might be dead before the constitutional remedy could become effective." -- Charles Waddell Chesnutt, 'The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories'
A constitutional is so called because it is taken for the benefit of one's constitution.
