Definition
A salt or ester of formic acid; a chemical compound formed from formic acid.
Etymology
From 'formic' (relating to ants or formic acid) + '-ate' (chemical suffix denoting a salt or ester). Standard chemical nomenclature from 19th-century systematic chemistry.
Kelly Says
Sodium formate is used in de-icers and preservatives—so basically, ant-acid chemistry is keeping your roads drivable in winter and your food fresh, which means ants accidentally invented useful industrial chemistry.
