Morphology
thioridazine = thio + ridazine
A specialised chemical/trade name formed from technical combining elements ('thio-' + 'ridazine') that is not interpretable by a general B1 learner from its parts.
Etymology
Thioridazine starts with thio-, which means 'sulfur', and ends with -azine, a common part of many drug names. A helpful way to remember thioridazine is that it is a sulfur-containing medicine used to calm people with schizophrenia and other serious mental illness.
