Pronunciation
Enobosarm is pronounced as /ɪˈnoʊboʊsɑːrm/.
Etymology
The term "Enobosarm" is derived from the name of the company that first developed it, GTx Inc., and the term "SARM" which stands for Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator. The "en" prefix is a common naming convention in pharmaceuticals, indicating a synthetic substance, while "obo" is likely a unique identifier for this particular compound.
