dichlorobenzene in American English
(daiˌklɔrəˈbenzin, -benˈzin, -ˌklour-)
noun
Chemistry
any of three isomers consisting of benzene in which two of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by chlorine atoms: ortho-, meta-, and paradichlorobenzene
Word origin
[di-1 + chloro-2 + benzene]di- is a prefix occurring in loanwords from Greek, where it meant “two,” “twice,” “double”(diphthong). On this model, di- is freely used in the formation of compound words (dicotyledon; dipolar) and in chemical terms (diatomic; disulfide)
