Etymology
Phenothiazine is built from parts that describe its chemistry: pheno- meaning 'a ring of atoms', thia- meaning 'sulfur', and -azine meaning 'nitrogen'. So the name points to a basic ring that contains sulfur and nitrogen, which is why phenothiazine became the base for some veterinary medicines and other drugs.
