What does CINEOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A colorless, oily liquid compound with a sharp, camphor-like smell, found naturally in eucalyptus oil and used in medicine and perfumery.
Cineol belongs to a family of chemical compounds called terpenes, and industry extracts it from eucalyptus, cajeput and similar oils for its cool, penetrating scent. Manufacturers add cineol to cough drops and chest rubs as a mild expectorant, and perfumers value the same sharp note in scented products. Many reference works spell the identical substance cineole, and both spellings appear in word lists, though cineol is the shorter and older form. Chemists identify it by the formula C10H18O, a detail that marks it out among common household aromatics.
