Fun fact: Abbott sells methylphenidate chlorohydrate with a retardant effect so that it lasts for approximately 16 hours instead of 4, and they called it Aradix Retard lmao. I know why they called it that but I can't help but laugh every time I see it.

There's also the term ritardando in music for gradually slowing down, but at least that's typically abbreviated to "rit."
