Etymology
Prostigmin is a brand name made from pro- meaning 'for' or 'forward' and the drug family part -stigmin, which you also see in neostigmine. A helpful way to remember it is to think of Prostigmin as a medicine 'for' helping muscles and nerves, which fits its use in eye problems and myasthenia gravis.
