No no no, they've got it all wrong. A prescription is a set of words used to explain the meaning of another topic or word

No, you're thinking of a description. A prescription is a guess about what's going to happen in the future.

No, that's a prediction. A prescription is a deposit on the earth of hail, mist, rain, sleet, or snow.

Nah that's a premonition. A prescription is how you transform information so that only authorized parties can decode

Nah that is encryption. Prescription is when something is squeezed enough.
