Definition
A synthetic pesticide or organic compound, possibly derived from or related to dichlorodifluoromethane, used in agricultural or industrial applications.
Etymology
From 'di-' (two) combined with 'cophane' or a variant combining form suggesting a chemical compound. Likely a 20th-century industrial or agricultural chemical term.
Kelly Says
Many pesticides from the mid-20th century used 'di-' prefixes to indicate they contained two key chemical groups—DDT, dichlorvos, and similar compounds inadvertently created a naming system that made dangerous chemicals sound like technical crossword puzzle answers!
