Aspirin is made form salicylic acid, which comes from the bark of a willow tree. Willow bark have been used as a pain reliever since ancient times.
In the 1890s Bayer (in Germany) figured out how to purify the salicylic acid with acetic acid (vinegar), so they patented 'acetylsalicylic acid' as 'aspirin', which is another of those brand names that eventually became generic, like yo-yo and kerosene.
