Why this word?

“Roborant,” used as both a noun and an adjective, comes from the Latin root “robor-,” meaning “strength.” As a noun, it denotes a specific thing with a strengthening effect. You could say, for example, “Some people might call it a placebo, but I think adding honey to my tea is a roborant to soothe my throat.” When used as an adjective, “roborant” is added to a noun to give it the quality of being restorative. For example, “I need a roborant diet with lots of fruits and vegetables to recover from my illness.”
