Laboratory

Translation
Laboratory
A place for doing tests and research procedures and preparing chemicals, etc. Although “laboratory” looks very like the Latin “laboratorium” (a place to labor, a work place), the word “laboratory” came from the Latin “elaborare” (to work out, as a problem, and with great pains), as evidenced by the Old English spelling “elaboratory” designating “a place where learned effort was applied to the solution of scientific problems.”
* * *
A place equipped for the performance of tests, experiments, and investigative procedures and for the preparation of reagents, therapeutic chemical materials, and so on. [Mediev. L. laboratorium, a workplace, fr. L. laboro, pp. -atus, to labor]
- personal growth l. a sensitivity training setting in which the primary emphasis is on each participant's potentialities for creativity, empathy, and leadership. SEE ALSO: sensitivity training group.
