A hypothetical or rare chemical compound related to carbohydrates, possibly containing a hydride functional group or reduced carbon-hydrogen structure.
From 'carbo-' plus 'hydride' (a compound of an element with hydrogen). This appears to be an obscure or antiquated term from early organic chemistry nomenclature.
Some chemical terms fade away as better nomenclature systems replace them—carbohydride is likely one of these historical labels that chemists stopped using once they had more precise ways to describe molecular structures.
