a chemical reaction in which a compound is decomposed by hydrogen
hydrogenolysis in American English
(ˌhaidroudʒəˈnɑləsɪs)
nounWord forms: plural-ses (-ˌsiz)
decomposition of a compound resulting from its interaction with hydrogen
Word origin
[1930–35; hydrogen + -o- + -lysis]This word is first recorded in the period 1930–35. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: cloverleaf, hypercorrection, kickback, logical positivism, preset-o- is the typical ending of the first element of compounds of Greek origin (as -i- is, in compounds of Latin origin), used regularly in forming new compounds with elementsof Greek origin and often used in English as a connective irrespective of etymology(Franco-Italian; geography; seriocomic; speedometer); -lysis is a combining form with the meaning “breaking down, loosening, decomposition,” usedin the formation of compound words. Other words that use the affix -lysis include: analysis, electrolysis, paralysis
