Etymology

Milontin is a brand name for an anticonvulsant medicine used to treat 'absence' seizures. Because it is a modern brand name rather than an old word, a helpful way to remember it is to think of mil- as sounding like 'mild' and -ton like a steady 'tone', so Milontin helps 'calm' brief seizures.
