Attorney \At*tor"ney\, n.; pl. {Attorneys}. [OE. aturneye, OF.       atorn[82], p. p. of atorner: cf. LL. atturnatus, attornatus,       fr. attornare. See {Attorn}.]       1. A substitute; a proxy; an agent. [Obs.]                         And will have no attorney but myself. --Shak.          2. (Law)             (a) One who is legally appointed by another to transact                   any business for him; an attorney in fact.             (b) A legal agent qualified to act for suitors and                   defendants in legal proceedings; an attorney at law.          Note: An attorney is either public or private. A private                attorney, or an attorney in fact, is a person appointed                by another, by a letter or power of attorney, to                transact any business for him out of court; but in a                more extended sense, this class includes any agent                employed in any business, or to do any act in pais, for                another. A public attorney, or attorney at law, is a                practitioner in a court of law, legally qualified to                prosecute and defend actions in such court, on the                retainer of clients. --Bouvier. -- The attorney at law                answers to the procurator of the civilians, to the                solicitor in chancery, and to the proctor in the                ecclesiastical and admiralty courts, and all of these                are comprehended under the more general term lawyer. In                Great Britain and in some states of the United States,                attorneys are distinguished from counselors in that the                business of the former is to carry on the practical and                formal parts of the suit. In many states of the United                States however, no such distinction exists. In England,                since 1873, attorneys at law are by statute called                solicitors.          {A power}, {letter}, or {warrant}, {of attorney}, a written             authority from one person empowering another to transact             business for him.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Wormwood       Heb. la'anah, the Artemisia absinthium of botanists. It is noted       for its intense bitterness (Deut. 29:18; Prov. 5:4; Jer. 9:15;       Amos 5:7). It is a type of bitterness, affliction, remorse,       punitive suffering. In Amos 6:12 this Hebrew word is rendered       "hemlock" (R.V., "wormwood"). In the symbolical language of the       Apocalypse (Rev. 8:10, 11) a star is represented as falling on       the waters of the earth, causing the third part of the water to       turn wormwood.                The name by which the Greeks designated it, absinthion, means       "undrinkable." The absinthe of France is distilled from a       species of this plant. The "southernwood" or "old man,"       cultivated in cottage gardens on account of its fragrance, is       another species of it.
