Etymology
Bromo was used for medicines that contained bromide, and bromide comes from the root brom-, linked to the element bromine, which was named from a Greek word for 'strong smell'. Because bromide salts were once used to calm people and ease headaches, a bromo came to mean a simple sedative or headache remedy.
