A hydrocarbon compound related to ether; a chemical substance with ether-like properties.
From ether plus -ene (chemical suffix indicating unsaturated hydrocarbons). Used in chemistry to name compounds.
The -ene suffix in chemistry marks double bonds between carbons — like in ethylene and benzene — so etherene would be a hydrocarbon with the lightness suggested by 'ether' plus the reactive double bond marked by -ene.
