Etymology
Aspirin comes from the plant name Spiraea, 'meadowsweet', combined with the chemical part acetyl, so you can remember it as 'A' + 'spir' + 'in'. It began as a medicine made from a plant and was later changed into a gentler chemical form, which is why aspirin is used for pain, fever, and to help prevent blood clots.
