Etymology

Percocet is a brand name for a pain medicine, so it was created by a company rather than coming from an old language. A helpful way to remember it is to see oxy, as in oxycodone, and acet, as in acetaminophen, hiding in the name, which shows it combines a strong opioid and a milder pain drug and is therefore used for serious pain but can be dangerous if misused.
