any carboxylic acid that contains two carboxyl groups per molecule
dicarboxylic acid in American English
(dai ˈkɑːrbɑkˈsɪlɪk, -ˌkɑːr-)
noun
Chemistry
any of the organic compounds that contain two carboxyl groups
Word origin
[di-1 + carboxylic acid]di- is a prefix occurring in loanwords from Greek, where it meant “two,” “twice,” “double”(diphthong). On this model, di- is freely used in the formation of compound words (dicotyledon; dipolar) and in chemical terms (diatomic; disulfide)
