What does AZOTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
obsoletechemistry
An old and now obsolete name for the chemical element nitrogen.
Azote was the name early chemists gave to nitrogen after noticing that animals could not survive breathing it alone, since the Greek roots of the word mean without life. The name was widely used in French and English chemistry texts before the element was renamed nitrogen in the nineteenth century. Today azote survives only in older scientific writing and in the modern French word for nitrogen, azote, which kept the original term.
