Brit.

/kɑːˈbɒnɪk/, U.S.

/kɑrˈbɑnɪk/

Origin: Either (i) formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a French lexical item. Or (ii) a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: carbon n., -ic suffix; Latin carbōn- , carbō , -ic suffix.

Etymology: < carbon n. or its ultimate etymon classical Latin carbōn-, carbō + -ic suffix, after French carbonique (1787 in the passage translated in quot. 1788 at sense A. 1a).

A. adj.

1. Chemistry.

a. Of or relating to carbon or its compounds; organic. In early use used esp. to form names of compounds of carbon; spec. of tetravalent carbon (cf. carbonous adj. 2). Now rare.
