Morphology

oxyphencyclimine = oxy + phen + cycl + imine

This is a specialised chemical/drug name built from technical combining forms unfamiliar to an average B1 learner, so knowing the parts does not allow reliable inference of the meaning.

Etymology

Oxyphencyclimine looks like a long chemical name, so a helpful way to remember it is to split it into parts: oxy- meaning 'oxygen', cycl- meaning 'circle', and -imine meaning 'a common chemical ending'. So, think of oxyphencyclimine as a medicine that works on the stomach to reduce acid and calm pain.
