An older chemical term for a cyanide compound or a nitrile; a compound containing the cyano group (-CN).
From cyan- (blue, cyanide-related) + -uret (archaic suffix for chemical compounds). This is an older nomenclature largely replaced by modern -ide and -nitrile terms.
Cyanuret is basically a vintage word—chemists stopped using it in the early 1900s in favor of clearer names like 'nitrile' or 'cyanide,' but if you read old chemistry books, you'll see it everywhere, like finding a word fossil.
