Etymology
Cefobid is built from the antibiotic family name cephalosporin, shown in the start cefo-, plus a brand ending -bid. A helpful way to remember is that the ending looks like the medicine note 'BID' meaning 'twice a day', so Cefobid is a brand-name cephalosporin often given by injection in hospitals for severe infections.
