Morphology

aspirin + powder

The phrase is a straightforward noun-noun composition: 'aspirin' (a medication) combined with 'powder' (a fine dry substance) clearly yields 'a powdered form of aspirin'. This follows common compounding patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Aspirin powder is the name for aspirin, the common pain medicine first made from willow bark, when it is in a powder form. Because the medicine is in tiny bits, it can 'dissolve' more quickly in water and is often 'easier' to swallow or 'work faster', so the name helps you picture the same medicine in a quick, easy form.
