What does DIOXAN mean in Scrabble?
noun

A colourless, flammable and toxic liquid used as an industrial solvent.

Its vapour burns easily and the liquid is harmful, so it is handled with care. The same substance is also spelled dioxane, and the two spellings turn up side by side in chemical writing.
