Etymology

Clomiphene is a modern, man-made drug name formed from parts often used in chemical naming, such as clomi- and the ending -phene. A helpful way to remember it is that clomiphene is a medicine that helps a woman 'release an egg', which is ovulation, so she has a better chance to become pregnant.
