Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Anti = विरुद्ध, septic = सड़न; जो संक्रमण के विरुद्ध काम करे, वही antiseptic — bandage से पहले यही लगता है।
Anti means against and septic means rotting or infected: an antiseptic works against infection, which is why it goes on a wound before the bandage.
Exam note
तीनों अलग हैं: antiseptic संक्रमण रोके, antidote ज़हर काटे, antibiotic जीवाणु मारे।
Keep the anti- trio apart: antiseptic prevents infection, antidote counters poison, antibiotic kills bacteria.
