panacea
의미: A solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases.
Panacea is most frequently used in a sceptical or cautionary sense — to warn that a proposed solution is being naively presented as a cure-all when it is not. The construction 'not a panacea' or 'no panacea' is extremely common, as writers and speakers use the word to temper unrealistic expectations. It appears widely in policy debate, healthcare, economics, and technology discussions. When used without qualification, it can also simply mean a universal remedy, though this is rarer in modern usage.
