Definition
A brand name for amobarbital, a barbiturate drug once used as a sedative and hypnotic medication.
Etymology
A proprietary trade name created by pharmaceutical companies; 'amytal' is the branded version of the generic drug amobarbital. The name origins are in the chemical structure.
Kelly Says
Amytal is infamous in history as the 'truth serum' used during interrogations and in pseudo-scientific psychology—the belief that it would make people speak truthfully was largely a myth, yet it persists in popular culture and spy fiction.
