English

Etymology

From methamphetamine, apparently by analogy with amphetamines.

Noun

methamphetamines pl (plural only)

1. Methamphetamine.

Usage notes

• Since the term methamphetamine denotes a specific compound (one of the amphetamines), the term methamphetamines may be considered meaningless; nonetheless, it is in wide use as a synonym for methamphetamine, though less so in technical literature.
