Steven Wright Moment

Why do we call them "pain meds" when they're actually anti-pain meds?

Think about it:

antihistamine
anti-hypertension
anticoagulant
anti-cancer
antibacterial
anti-inflammatory
antiflatulent
antitoxin
antibiotic

But when it comes to pain, it's "pain meds." Wha hoppen wit dat?, she asked in her best Chico Marx voice. Who takes meds to have pain?
