Designed to cool or prevent heat; relating to substances or treatments that counteract burning sensations or excessive heat in the body.
From anti- (against) + pyrotic (from Greek pyr, fire, with suffix -otic meaning relating to). This term bridges fever reduction and cooling sensations more broadly.
Antipyrotic compounds might include cooling gels or medicines—the word shows how ancient medicine used the 'fire' metaphor for any excessive heat in the body, whether fever or inflammatory heat.
