A proprietary pain-relieving medication or compound; a specific pharmaceutical agent used to reduce pain.
From antalgic + -ol (a chemical suffix used in pharmaceutical naming, as in menthol, phenol). The -ol ending suggests a chemical compound or medicine derived from ancient pain-relief terminology.
Brand names like Antalgol show how pharmaceutical companies create neologisms that sound scientific by combining Greek roots with chemical suffixes—it's a deliberate strategy to make drugs sound more authoritative than they might otherwise seem.
