Etymology
Pharmacokinetic is made of two Greek parts: pharmaco- from pharmakon meaning 'drug' and -kinetic from kinesis meaning 'movement', the first is the same root as pharmacy and the second is like kinetic energy. So pharmacokinetic describes how a drug 'moves' through the body, how it is absorbed, changed, and removed.
