@handyandy saidVery good Andy...a chemical or medication it may be.
I think it might be a chemical name. We need Pondy.
No, not a proper noun...things have names: salt, sugar, chair, carbon, oxygen...etc. So do meds and chems....however, brand names ARE proper nouns.
For example:
aspirin = noun
Anacin = proper noun

It is the name of a game like Cluedo or Buckaroo.
It is a proper noun.
If it were a noun it would be in a dictionary.
That is what I was referring to! ... and not your answer.

@wolfgang59 saidGood one. That'll work.
Is it parabenzthymol-oxysulphate?
But I had benzthiazide in mind.

@handyandy saidI just made it up!
Seems to be misspelled.
Maybe we should steer clear of chemical
names unless really basic well-known ones?
I'll get the ball rolling again with ... (deep breath) ...

I was actually interested to see if anyone might find an alternate word.

Sounds medical. I'll ponder.
