A chemical compound, a hydrocarbon related to cymene; a constituent of essential oils found in plants.
From kyma (wave) combining with the -ol chemical suffix (indicating an alcohol or phenolic compound). Derived from the systematic naming of organic compounds discovered in aromatic plant oils.
Cymol is literally hiding in your thyme and cumin—it's one of nature's invisible chemistry experiments, where plants make complex molecules perhaps to protect themselves or attract insects!
