What does EDUCT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalchemistry
A substance separated out from a compound or mixture by extraction rather than produced through chemical synthesis.
An educt is what remains or is drawn out when a substance is separated by a physical or extractive process, as opposed to a product formed through a chemical reaction. Chemists once used the term more widely to distinguish material simply extracted from an existing mixture from a genuinely new compound built up by synthesis. The word comes from the same Latin root as educe, meaning to draw or lead out.
