Etymology

Chlor-Trimeton is a brand name built from chemical-sounding parts: Chlor- (as in chlorine or chlorophyll) meaning 'green', tri- meaning 'three', and -meton as a company-made ending. A helpful way to remember it is that this chemical-style name belongs to a medicine (an antihistamine) that helps with 'allergy' symptoms.
