Morphology
ketoprofen = keto + profen
A technical drug name built from chemical combining forms: 'keto' (ketone-related) + 'profen' (a non-standalone class-forming element); the composition is not derivable by an average learner to mean an NSAID.
Etymology
Ketoprofen breaks into keto- and -profen, where keto- refers to a 'ketone', a kind of chemical part, and -profen ties it to other pain medicines like ibuprofen. So, the name is a clue that ketoprofen is a drug used to reduce pain and swelling.
