Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἔμπλαστρον (émplastron, daub; salve) which was introduced by Pedanius Dioscorides instead of older (Hippocrates) ἔμπλαστον (émplaston), substantivisation of ἔμπλαστος (émplastos, daubed on), from ἐμπλάσσω (emplássō, daub on), from ἐν- (en-, on) + πλάσσω (plássō, to mold, form), of uncertain etymology. Related to Latin plastēs and plasticus.
