Etymology

The word thiabendazole is made of parts that describe its chemical rings: thia- means 'sulfur', benz- refers to 'benzene' (a common ring), and -azole names a 'nitrogen' ring often found in medicines that fight fungi and worms. So the name points to the molecule's shape and helps you remember it is used to treat fungal infections and parasitic worms.
