not an anthranilate
Etymology
'non-anthranilate' is formed from the prefix 'non-' (from Latin 'non', meaning 'not') combined with 'anthranilate', the chemical name for the ester or salt of anthranilic acid.
'anthranilate' originates from the chemical name 'anthranilic' (as in 'anthranilic acid'), a term coined in 19th-century chemical nomenclature to denote derivatives related to anthranil/o-aminobenzoic structures; 'non-anthranilate' is a modern negated compound of that term.
Initially, 'anthranilate' referred specifically to salts and esters of anthranilic acid; the negated form 'non-anthranilate' has been used in modern chemical contexts simply to indicate the absence or exclusion of anthranilate character.
