What does IRONE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
Any of a group of fragrant chemical compounds found in orris root, prized in perfumery for a violet-like scent.
Irone names a small family of closely related compounds, called ketones, that occur naturally in the dried root of certain iris plants known as orris root. Perfumers value irone highly because it produces a delicate scent resembling fresh violets, even though violet flowers themselves yield very little usable fragrance directly. Because orris root must be aged for years before its irone content develops fully, perfume made with it is expensive and prized. Chemists distinguish several closely related forms of irone, each contributing a slightly different note to a finished fragrance.
