Etymology
Clonidine is a modern drug name built from chemical parts: the clon- part hints at 'chlorine' because the medicine contains chlorine, and the -ine ending is a common ending for drug names. So, clonidine is the name given to a medicine used to 'lower blood pressure' and to help with some other conditions.
