Etymology

Etodolac is a modern drug name made from small parts that hint at what it does. A helpful way to remember it is to see dol as an old root meaning 'pain', like the word 'dolor', and eto as a short chemical piece often used in drug names. So, etodolac is a medicine used to relieve 'pain' and 'swelling'.
