Definitions

  1. A sweet spiced wine strained before serving.

Word origin

From Middle English ypocras, from Old French ipocras, ypocras (“Hippocrates”), after Medieval Latin vinum Hippocraticum (“Hippocrates's wine”), due to the fact that the wine was filtered through a Hippocratic sleeve.

Used in a sentence

  • It is long since that disorderly potentate [the Lord of Misrule] went the way of the Dodo, and hippocras has become almost as mythical as ambrosia; but, once upon a time, they played a prominent part in legal education.
