You can't be so stubborn there are MANY words that have the same root but mean entirely different things. Cognates even further illustrate this point... just because the Bible uses a word with the same root doesn't mean there is any connection with a modern word of a completely different meaning.
The fact that it was translated as something different expresses the difference in translation. This is why words have multiple meanings where some of the meanings are entirely unrelated and I fail to see a connection at all with idol worship and witchcraft to pharmacology.
