Etymology
Midazolam combines parts of its chemical name: imidazo- comes from 'imidazole', meaning 'small ring', and the ending -lam is shared with other sedative names like alprazolam. So the name tells you it is a benzodiazepine sedative used to help patients relax before or during medical procedures.
