Etymology
Zithromax is a brand name of the antibiotic azithromycin, created by joining azithro from the medicine name with max meaning 'maximum' as a simple memory hook. A helpful way to remember it is that Zithromax sounds like a 'maximum' fighter against bacteria, which fits its use to treat many kinds of infections.
