What does KETOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A chemical compound that carries both a ketone group and a hydroxyl group, making it at once a ketone and an alcohol.
The name ketol blends ketone with the -ol ending used for alcohols, signaling exactly what the molecule is built from. Chemists use the term for a class of compounds rather than one single substance, so a whole family of related hydroxy-ketones can each be called a ketol. The word appears almost only in technical chemistry writing, where precise structure matters more than everyday description.
