Example Sentences
- "Usona (U. S. of A.), a land that looked like a lost land to us two years ago, was our biggest buyer, says a local expert."
- "Everything of value recording during recent years by British pharmacists has been incorporated in the monographs, and it is interesting to notice how freely the pages of our own only commentary on the British Pharmacopœia—'Pharmacopedia,' to wit—have been drawn upon for information. But this was only to be expected, since our brethren in Usona are nothing if not careful and judicious compilers. Much original work has doubtless been done by American pharmacists engaged in the production of the new national medicine-book, but the volume is, nevertheless, best described as an excellent compilation."
Etymology
An acronym of the United States of North America, a 19th-century name for the United States of America, variously attributed to "a St. Louis professor" or "a Canadian, James P. Murray of Toronto".
