Etymology

Oxyphenbutazone is a long chemical name made of parts: oxy- (as in oxygen, 'oxygen'), phen- (a common part in chemical names), and butazone (the drug name). So, the name signals a chemical medicine, and oxyphenbutazone is an anti-inflammatory drug, a medicine that 'reduces swelling' in joints.
