[Noun] | "cap*si*cum" | \ ˈkap-si-kəm \

1: any of a genus (Capsicum) of tropical American herbs and shrubs of the nightshade family widely cultivated for their many-seeded usually fleshy-walled berries —called also pepper

2: pepper

3: an oleoresin derived from the fruit of some capsicums that contains capsaicin and related compounds and is used medicinally especially as a topical pain reliever

Origin: 1588 ;

Borrowed from New Latin (Linnaeus), earlier, a name for various species of Piper, borrowed from Middle Greek kapsikón, of uncertain origin;

* Note : The name capsicum was introduced into Renaissance botany by the French physician and botanist Jean Ruel, who, in De medicamentorum compositione (Paris, 1539; Basel, 1540), translated Books 5 and 6 of De methodo medendi/Theurapeutikḕ méthodos by the Byzantine physician Johannes Actuarius/Ioannes Aktuarios (ca. 1275-ca. 1328). Actuarius included kapsikón in a pharmaceutical recipe among other plants (… item sitezium indicum, capsicum, piper longum, tenue cinamomum) apparently similar in action to ginger and galanga, but see:ms to indicate nothing further about it. (The Greek text of these two books has never been published.) Earlier, in his botanical and pharmaceutical encyclopedia De natura stirpium libri tres (Paris: Simon de Collines, 1536), p. 380, Jean Ruel alludes to the capsicon of Actuarius as a synonym for cardamom, so called because … the see:ds are arranged in a row, enclosed in a kind of case, as if they are collected in a capsa (… semina in ordinem digesta, quibusdam thecis inuoluentibus, quasi capsis congerantur). This notion that capsicum has something to do with Latin capsa, case, receptacle, is repeated by many subsequent authors. The botanist Gaspard Bauhin employs capsicum as a synonym for piper, pepper (Phytopinax, seu enumeratio plantarum, Basel, 1596, pp. 155-56), which eventually gives rise to the Linnaean usage; he proffers a completely different etymology, from Greek káptein to gulp down, swallow up: Kapsikón [Greek letters] Actuario, fortè quod semen comestum mordeat, à káptō [Greek letters] mordeo (Kapsikón in Actuarius, perhaps because the see:d once eaten causes a sting, from káptō I bite). Neither Ruel's nor Bauhin's etymologies make sense derivationally, so the origin—as well as the identity—of Actuarius' kapsikón remain obscure, at least until further examination of the original Greek text.;

1: A genus of peppers, which contain capsaicin which creates the burning sensation on your toungue and in your mouth... So the stuff that makes them hot while the Red Savina Habanero is the hottest pepper in the world and tops the Heat Scale for peppers at around 350,000-580,000 Scoville Units the scale used measure the heat of peppers(Jalepeno Peppers range from 2,500 - 5,000 Scoville Units as a reference) Pure capsicum(capsaicin) tops this scale far above the hottest peppers sitting atop the scoville heat scale at 10,000,000 units it is inedible for most people and they now use it to make the world's hottest hot sauces which people usually will buy to say they own it while never actually eating it most of these hot sauces will have instructions and on them reading "CAUTION Not to be directly ingested only to be used as an ingredient in cooking" and so forth, so you can guess that it is quite hot, spicy, and dangerous.

* e.g., ... The world's hottest sauce I know of is made by Dave's Gourmet, it's called "The Source" made from diluted Capsicum(capsaicin), sitting around 5 million scoville units on the heat scale. Go try some yourself, if I ever get a chance maybe I will
