Etymology
Norethynodrel is a chemical name built from parts: nor- meaning 'without', ethyn- (from 'ethynyl') showing a small chemical change, and -drel as a common ending for some hormone drugs. So, the name signals a man-made version of a natural hormone, which is why norethynodrel is used in birth control and to treat menstrual bleeding.
