Relating to or containing a chemical compound with a six-carbon chain, also called hexanoic acid.
From Latin 'caper' (goat) combined with the chemistry suffix '-ic', describing properties of compounds historically found in goat fat.
Capronic acid is one of the shorter fatty acids, and it actually smells pretty rank—think sweaty gym socks—which makes sense since it's found in goat sweat and cheese!
