Etymology
Bitters comes from the adjective bitter, which means 'sharp or unpleasant in taste', and it names a strong liquid made from bitter herbs. These liquids began as herbal medicines and are now added to cocktails or taken after a meal to help digestion, so the name tells you they are made from 'bitter' plants.
