Etymology

Norethandrolone is built from small parts: nor- meaning 'without', eth- for a small chemical part, andro- meaning 'man', and -one as in testosterone. So a helpful way to remember it is that the name describes a chemically changed 'man' hormone — a lab-made hormone used in contraceptive pills and to treat endometriosis.
