Relating to or involving glycol (a sweet-tasting chemical compound) in urine or its excretion through urine.
From glycol (from Greek glykys 'sweet' + Latin ol from oleum 'oil') + -uric (from Latin urina 'urine'). The term was formed in the 19th century as chemistry developed ways to describe compounds found in bodily fluids.
Glycoluric is a medical term that emerged when scientists first discovered unusual chemicals in patients' urine—it's one of hundreds of specialized words that let doctors describe exactly what's going wrong in the body through chemical analysis alone.
