An organic compound containing two carbonyl groups (C=O) attached to carbon atoms, making it a type of ketone.
From 'di-' (two) + 'ketone' (a functional group with a C=O bond). This is standard chemical nomenclature that describes the molecule's structural features.
Diketones are what give coffee its aroma, vanilla its flavor, and butter its buttery taste—these tiny molecules with two 'double-bonded oxygens' are flavor powerhouses!
