Aspirin derives its name from its chemical formula, acetylsalicylic acid. The compound is formed from salicylic acid, which is derived from bark from a willow tree. The process was discovered to take away the intense stomach pains associated with salicylic acid.
Interesting note: The same mechanism that makes salicylic acid into acetylsalicylic acid also turns morphene into heroin.
