An archaic chemical term for a compound of two sulfur atoms with another element, using older nomenclature.
British spelling variant of disulfuret, from dis- + sulph- + -uret (French-influenced suffix for binary compounds), common in 18th and 19th-century chemistry texts.
The -uret ending came from French chemistry terminology but never really caught on in English—it's a linguistic ghost showing how scientific English absorbed and then rejected French chemical nomenclature.
