Definition
A synthetic hormone related to estrogen, once used in medicine but now largely abandoned.
Etymology
From 'hex-' (six) + '-estro-' (estrogen-related) + '-ol' (chemical compound with hydroxyl group). Named for its six-carbon ring structure related to natural estrogens.
Kelly Says
Hexestrol was given to millions of women and fed to cattle as a growth promoter before its dangers became clear—a stark reminder that early hormone drugs were tested far less rigorously than today's medications.
