orsellinicadj.

Brit.

/ˌɔːsəˈlɪnɪk/, U.S.

/ˌɔrsəˈlɪnɪk/

Origin: Probably a borrowing from German, combined with an English element. Etymons: German Orsellinsäure , -ic suffix.

Etymology: Probably < orsellin- (in German Orsellinsäure orsellic acid; 1848 in the German translation of quot. 1848¹ for orsellic acid n. at orsellic adj.; perhaps < orchil n. (see variants at that entry) + German -in -ine suffix⁵) + -ic suffix. With the relationship between orsellic adj. and orsellinic adj. compare maleinic adj. beside maleic adj.

Chemistry.

1. orsellinic acid n. a crystalline phenolic acid found in some lichens and fungi, chiefly in the form of depsides such as lecanoric acid; 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoic acid, C₈H₈O₄.
