'allylize' originates from the word 'allyl,' which is derived from the Latin word 'allium,' meaning 'garlic,' due to the presence of allyl compounds in garlic.

'allyl' changed from the Latin word 'allium' and eventually became the modern English word 'allyl' through scientific nomenclature.

Initially, it referred to compounds derived from garlic, but over time it evolved into its current meaning of introducing an allyl group into a compound.
