Etymology
Enbrel is a brand name made by the drug company rather than a word from an old language. A helpful way to remember it is to see en- as 'in' and -brel as sounding like 'relief', so the name suggests a medicine that brings relief by reducing the immune system's attack that causes joint pain.
