Relating to or containing both alcohol and sulfur or thionic compounds; a rare chemical descriptor.
Compound of 'alcohol' (Arabic) and 'thionic' (from Greek theion, meaning sulfur). This highly specialized chemistry term is virtually obsolete, appearing only in very old technical texts.
This word is so obscure that even chemistry dictionaries barely mention it — it's a fossil of 19th-century chemistry jargon when scientists named things based on every tiny chemical property they detected.
