Xylol, x-y-l-y-l, refers to a group of atoms that are derived from a clear, flammable liquid called xylene, x-y-l-e-n-e.

And one of the sources of this chemical, xylene, is wood tar.

And that's how the chemical xylene got its name.

这就是化学物质二甲名称由来。

And the really cool thing is that xylene comes from the ancient Greek word for wood, xylon.

I'm looking in the Oxford English Dictionary, which gives the definition, the hypothetical radical C8H9 of xylene and its derivatives.

我在《牛津英语词典》中查找，这个词定义是甲及其衍生物假设性基团C8H9。

It's from the same root as xylene and xylol and that's probably the coolest thing I know about xylol.

它与二甲和醇同源，这大概是我所知道关于醇最酷事情了。
