lacking an anisoyl group
Etymology
'non-anisoyl-containing' originates from a combination of the negative prefix 'non' (from Latin 'non', meaning 'not'), the chemical combining form 'anisoyl' (derived from 'anisic' / 'anisic acid' with the acyl-forming suffix '-oyl'), and the English participial adjective 'containing' (from Latin 'continere', 'to hold together').
'anisoyl' developed from 'anisic' (itself from 'anise', Latin 'anisum') plus the acyl/ radical-forming element '-oyl' used in chemical nomenclature; 'containing' comes from Latin 'continere' via Old French and Middle English 'containen' to Modern English 'contain'. The full compound 'non-anisoyl-containing' is a modern descriptive coinage used in chemical literature to state absence of that specific group.
Initially, 'anisoyl' referred specifically to the acyl radical derived from anisic acid; the composite expression 'non-anisoyl-containing' has a literal, technical meaning — 'lacking the anisoyl group' — and has retained that precise sense in modern chemical usage.
