Etymology

Versed is a modern brand name for the drug midazolam, which doctors give to calm patients and make them drowsy for procedures. A helpful way to remember Versed is that it looks like the everyday word versed, which can suggest being 'well prepared' or 'taken care of', and the medicine helps patients feel calm and ready.
