a peptide that yields two amino acids on hydrolysis
Word origin
[1900–05; di-1 + peptide]This word is first recorded in the period 1900–05. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: cathode-ray tube, decompression, desensitize, elder statesman, hormonedi- 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)
