- Placebo in history is the account of the changing understanding of the phenomena of the placebo effect and term "placebo". The word placebo, Latin for "I shall please", dates back to a Latin translation of the Bible by Jerome. It first started to be used in a medicinal context in the 18th century but in a different sense to that used at present as an ineffective treatment. In 1785 it was defined as a "commonplace method or medicine" and in 1811 it was defined as "any medicine adapted more to please than to benefit the patient", sometimes with a derogative implication but not with the implication of no effect. In 1961 Kennedy introduced the word nocebo.
