epinephrine
💉 adrenalina = Spanish for adrenaline: from ad- (near) + renal (kidney), made above the kidneys
Adrenalina comes from Latin ad- (near, at) + renalis (kidney), because the adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys. Spelling is nearly the same as English, but stress the -li- syllable: a-dre-na-LI-na.
