The word? It's Latin "I shall please" .. unless we mean that the Russians were
using placebos first in medical research. The Russian word for please is
пожалуйста, pronounced "po-zhal-ista". And you'd use Я (pronounced Ya .. not a
russian R btw) for "I" (but I believe there are alternate words used by
Russians). Placebo (as far as I can tell) is translated as плацебо which is
pronounced "placebo".
thanks Mike Palij many moons ago for reminding me to copy and paste Cyrillic
letters into emails ...
