yl
The
suffix -yl is used in
organic chemistry to form names of
radicals, either separate or as chemically bonded parts of molecules. It was extracted from the word
methyl, whose
etymology is described in Methanol#History.If there is an organic chemical called "X-ic acid", which has an acidic -OH group, "X-yl" often means the radical formed by removing that -OH group: see
acyl.Sometimes words ending in -yl are used with other meanings as a result of
ellipsis, for example "vinyl" properly means the monomer radical -CH=CH2, but "
vinyl" is often used as short for the polymer
poly(vinyl chloride).
