Antipyretics

/ˌæntɪpaɪˈretɪks/ noun

Definition

Plural of antipyretic; medicines or drugs that reduce fever and lower body temperature in people with fevers.

Etymology

From anti- (against) + pyretics (fever-reducing agents, from Greek pyr, fire). The plural form used as a noun in medical and pharmaceutical contexts.

Kelly Says

Antipyretics are among the most universally used medications, yet their mechanism was mysterious until relatively recently—we've been lowering fevers effectively for centuries without fully understanding why they work.
