Etymology

Triavil looks like a brand name made from two parts: tri- (as in triangle, meaning 'three' or 'combined') and -avil, a part that appears in some drug names. A helpful way to remember Triavil is to think of it as a 'combined' psychiatric medicine made from a tranquilizer and an antidepressant, which explains its use for mood problems and sometimes for stopping vomiting.
