薬局 is a Japanese word that means "pharmacy". The word is composed of two Kanji: "薬" which means "medicine" and "局" which means "agency" or "office". The etymology of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when pharmacies were called "yaoya" and were usually operated by families of merchants.
