arylide
|ˈær-ɪ-laɪd|
/ˈærɪlaɪd/
derived from an aromatic (aryl) group
Etymology
'arylide' originates from English chemical formation, specifically combining the combining form 'aryl' (coined in the 19th century from 'aromatic' + the suffix '-yl') and the chemical suffix '-ide' (used to form names of radicals or derived species).
'arylide' was formed in modern chemical nomenclature by joining 'aryl' + '-ide'; 'aryl' itself was coined from 'aromatic' with '-yl' to denote a radical derived from an aromatic ring, and the compound name stabilized in 19th–20th century organic chemistry literature.
Initially the elements 'aryl' + '-ide' signified a radical or derivative of an aromatic ring; over time 'arylide' has come to be used both for specific aryl-derived chemical species and for a practical class of pigments ('arylide yellows').
