An older chemical term for a compound containing two sulfur atoms and oxygen, similar to a disulfoxide.
From dis- + sulph- + ox- (oxygen) + -id (binary compound suffix), an archaic nomenclature combining Latin and chemical naming conventions from the 19th century.
This word is virtually extinct in modern usage—it's the kind of term you'd only find in dusty 1870s chemistry textbooks, replaced entirely by more standardized nomenclature.
