Morphology

trazodone + hydrochloride

The term is directly compositional: it combines the drug name 'trazodone' with 'hydrochloride' (the salt form), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to the hydrochloride salt form of trazodone, i.e. the medication. This is a standard, non-idiomatic pharmaceutical naming pattern found across languages, making the meaning predictable rather than figurative.

Etymology

Trazodone hydrochloride comes from the drug name plus a common chemical label: trazodone is the core medicine name and hydrochloride shows it is made as a stable 'salt' for tablets. So trazodone hydrochloride is the form of the medicine you take as an oral 'antidepressant' and sleep aid.
