Etymology

Norlutin is a modern brand name for a female hormone medicine. It joins nor-, a common start in drug names, with -lutin, which you can remember by thinking of 'lute' in words about the female cycle, so a helpful way to remember is that Norlutin is used in birth control and to treat endometriosis.
