sulpho-sulfo-comb. form
1.
a. before a vowel also sulph- comb. form (q.v.), used as combining form of sulphur n., in names of chemical compounds containing sulphur, or (in modern use) produced by the substitution of sulphur for oxygen (etc.) in a compound: in this sense now superseded extensively by thio- comb. form, q.v.
