Eleomargaric

/ˌɛliəmɑːrˈɡærɪk/ adjective

Definition

Etymology

From Greek 'elaion' (oil), Latin 'oleum' (oil), and 'margaric' (relating to margaric acid), combining oil-related chemistry terminology.

Kelly Says

This word is basically a prehistoric way of describing fat composition before modern chemistry had better names—it's like saying 'oily-buttery-acid' instead of just listing the actual chemical components!
