arylated
|ar-y-lat-ed|
/ˈærɪleɪt/
(arylate)
contain or attach an aryl group
Etymology
'arylated' originates from English, specifically the word 'arylate', where the element 'aryl-' is derived from the chemical term 'aryl' (formed from 'aromatic' + the suffix '-yl') and the verb-forming suffix '-ate' denotes causing or producing.
'arylated' changed from the noun/adjective 'aryl' (coined in the 19th century from 'aromatic' + '-yl') to the verb 'arylate' (to introduce an aryl group), and eventually formed the past participle/adjective 'arylated'.
Initially, the root 'aryl' referred to an aromatic radical or group; over time the verb 'arylate' came to mean 'to introduce an aryl group into a molecule', and 'arylated' now denotes a molecule that has received such a substitution.
