Pill Organizer
A Pill Organizer (pronunciation: /pɪl ˈɔːrɡənaɪzər/) is a special container designed to simplify the process of medication intake by sorting and organizing pills according to the times of the day or week they are to be taken.
Etymology
The term "Pill Organizer" is a compound noun formed from the words "pill" and "organizer". The word "pill" originates from the Latin "pilula", meaning "little ball", and the word "organizer" comes from the Greek "organon", meaning "tool" or "instrument".
Description
A Pill Organizer typically consists of compartments for each day of the week, and sometimes further divided into sections for different times of the day (morning, afternoon, evening, and night). This helps to ensure that the correct medication is taken at the right time, reducing the risk of missed or double doses.
