chemistry
Describing a chemical compound that comes from, or shares the sweet, licorice-like smell of, the anise plant.
Anisic describes chemical compounds, most famously anisic acid and anisic aldehyde, that either come from the anise plant or share its distinctive sweet, licorice-like scent. Perfumers and flavor chemists use anisic compounds to recreate that scent artificially, without needing the actual anise seed. The word narrows the broader idea of an aniseed-flavored substance down to a precise chemical description used in laboratories and industry.
