an organic compound used as a solvent in resin-making
epichlorohydrin in American English
(ˌepɪˌklɔrəˈhaidrɪn, -ˌklour-)
noun
Chemistry
a highly volatile liquid with a chloroformlike odor, C3H5ClO: used as a solvent for resins and in the production of epoxy and phenoxy resins
Word origin
[epi- + chlorohydrin]epi- is a prefix occurring in loanwords from Greek, where it meant “upon,” “on,” “over,”“near,” “at,” “before,” “after” (epicedium; epidermis; epigene; epitome). On this model, epi- is used in the formation of new compound words (epicardium; epinephrine)
