We have to go to the birth of the drink to unravel the meaning of its name.

Doctor Ordinaire, a physician in France is said to have developed a potent medicine made of several mystical and ancient herbs; to hold their essential oils they were mixed in 138 proof alcohol.

The patients of the good doctor seemed to cure in a miraculous way and the doctor was very busy handing out his marvelous elixir. It started being used for every and any illness, you have a cough- you drink absinth; you have a bad back, you drink absinth; you are unhappy, drink absinth...

Then the recipe landed in the lap of an experienced wine making family, the Pernod. Production picked up quickly and the stuff was so miraculous people needed a more informal, intimate name for it. So absinth was dubbed "The Green Fairy".
