A chemical compound derived from adding an acetyl group to pyrine, or an alternative name for acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).
From acetyl + pyrine, or possibly a misnamed variant of acetylated compounds; possibly another early name for aspirin from the 1890s when the compound was newly synthesized.
The name 'acetopyrin' might be an old or alternative name for aspirin—it's a reminder that famous drugs sometimes had different scientific names before companies standardized their marketing names.
