the part of a drug prescription that gives directions to be followed by the patient in taking the medicine.

: Exactly. In the old days, when we still wrote prescriptions by hand, we would write “Sig” followed by the instructions for use. (Latin for instructions.)

: The S in brackets in your reference simply denotes the plural. And why would they use this letter to represent "dose", or say "dosage: dose""?
