anthranoyl
|an-thra-noyl|
/ˌænθrəˈnɔɪl/
2-aminobenzoyl acyl group
Etymology
'anthranoyl' originates from modern chemical nomenclature, specifically from the element 'anthran-' (from 'anthranilic', i.e. anthranilic acid) combined with the acyl-forming suffix '-oyl', where 'anthran-' refers to anthranilic acid and '-oyl' meant 'acyl radical'.
'anthranoyl' developed by combining the name 'anthranilic' (derived from anthranilic acid) with the suffix '-oyl' (used in organic chemistry to denote acyl groups), eventually becoming the standardized term 'anthranoyl' in chemical names.
Initially it was coined to denote the acyl group derived from anthranilic acid; over time the term retained this specific meaning and is used consistently to indicate that acyl substituent.
