Etymology

Microzide is a brand name made from micro- and -zide, where micro- means 'small' and -zide links the name to the 'thiazide' group of medicines. So a helpful way to remember Microzide is to think of a 'small' sounding pill that helps the body get rid of extra water and lower blood pressure.
