carminative \kahr-MIN-uh-tive\ (adj.) - expelling gas from the stomach or intestines so as to relieve flatulence or abdominal pain or distension
katzenjammer \KAT-sun-jam-er\ - 1. hangover 2. distress 3. a discordant clamor
I completely get the "distressed cat" origins of the second word as it applies to the first definition . . .
