A. von Scherer 1812, in Jrnl. für Chem. und Physik 4 367) and Feldahornsäure, noun (1814 in an index referring to the 1812 article, or earlier). N.E.D. (1884) gives the pronunciation as (ăse·rik) /əˈsɛrɪk/.

ΚΠ
1815 T. Thomson in Ann. Philos. 5 36 We might distinguish it, if it be a peculiar acid, by the name of aceric acid; for Scherer's name, feldahorn acid, cannot with propriety be adopted into other languages.
1850 A. J. Cooley Cycl. Several Thousand Pract. Receipts 12/1 From the recent researches of Gmelin and others, it appears that the aceric and malic acids are the same.
