A chemical compound containing chlorine and an anhydride group (two carbonyl groups bonded to the same atom).
From chlor- (chlorine) + anhydride (from Greek 'an-' without + 'hydro' water). Anhydrides are dehydrated versions of acids.
Chloranhydrides are extremely reactive chemicals that are mostly used in laboratories and industry—they're too unstable to exist in nature or use as medicines!
