A yellow azo dye compound used in printing and textile dyeing.
From 'azo-' combined with an abbreviated or contracted form, possibly from chromatic terminology. Created in the 19th century as chemists developed simplified commercial names for dye products.
The short, punchy name 'azoch' is typical of how commercial dye companies abbreviated chemical names for practical use—factory workers needed quick names they could call out, leading to these concise trade names that often don't match modern systematic chemistry names.
