英语词汇cortisone的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

cortisone. Recognizing that the scientific name 17α dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,11,20-trione would never do, Dr. Ed- ward C. Kendall, one of the pioneers in using that drug, cut out a lot of the letters and came up with corsone. But his colleague at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Philip S. Hench, thought that the prom- inence of cor, Latin for heart, might suggest that the drug had some use in treating heart disease. He accordingly inserted a ti in corsone to make it cortisone. The new word was appearing in dictionaries by 1949.
