From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959
(Margaret St. Clair) A fabulous drink appearing in various fannish and minor pro epics. It actually exists as a sort of sacramental wine (the astringent, narcotic juice of Sarcostemma viminale) in the Hindu religion.

From Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement, ca. 1960
A more authoritative source of the word as a stfnal term is Huxley's Brave New World, not the St. Clair stories cited originally.
