Etymology
Deoxyephedrine breaks into deoxy- meaning 'without oxygen' and ephedrine, a stimulant named after the plant ephedra called 'ma huang' in Chinese that was used long ago as a medicine. So deoxyephedrine is literally an ephedrine-like chemical 'missing' an oxygen atom, which helps explain why it acts as a strong stimulant drug.
