Morphology
phenylbutazone = phenyl + butazone
A technical chemical/drug name whose parts ('phenyl' as a chemical combining form and 'butazone' as the drug stem) are specialised and do not allow a B1 learner to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Phenylbutazone is a chemical name made from two parts: phenyl and butazone. A helpful way to remember it is that phenyl is a common 'ring' piece found in many medicines and butazone marks a kind of pain drug, so the whole name tells you it is a man-made medicine used to reduce pain and swelling, often in animals.
