We often go to the doctor and when Dr. gives us prescription slip, we do not understand anything written on it. You already know that he can only understand a medical person. But if you have noticed, Doctors are write Rx before writing anything.
This means only a few people will know and we tell you about those who do not know. After this, whenever you get this slip next time, you will understand.

Rx means
1. Rx is formed by the combination of two alphabets R and X.
2. Here R means recipere which is a Latin word and recipere means to take.
3. Here X is belonging to god Zeus. Because the sign of Zeus God looks like X.
4. So the Rx means take medicine and pray to god.
