A chemical compound formed by removing sulfur from a sulfuret (sulfide compound), or a substance that has been desulfurized.
Combining 'de-' (remove) with 'sulphuret,' an older chemical term for sulfides. This technical term was more common in 19th-century chemistry before modern nomenclature became standard.
The term 'desulphuret' reflects how chemical naming conventions have evolved—modern chemists would simply call this a 'sulfide with reduced sulfur content' rather than using this archaic but beautifully logical compound word.
