Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish آفیون (afyon, “opium”). The form áfium may also have been a conscious word creation by the poet and military leader Count Miklós Zrínyi (1620–1664), following the example of Latin loanwords ending in the Latin -ium suffix. The term was used only in Hungarian literature, but in the 19th century ópium displaced it even there. First attested in 1546. See: Latin Nouns '-ium'.
