The term "Azagly-nafarelin" is derived from the chemical structure of the compound. "Aza" refers to the presence of a nitrogen atom, "gly" is short for glycine, and "nafarelin" is a type of GnRH agonist.

Azagly-nafarelin is a synthetic decapeptide, which means it is made up of ten amino acids. The specific sequence of amino acids in azagly-nafarelin gives it its unique properties as a GnRH agonist.
