Word History
Etymology
borrowed from German Arryl, from aromatisch aromatic entry 1 + -yl -yl
Note: The term was introduced by the German chemist Daniel Vorländer (1867-1941) in "Alkyl, Alphyl und Arryl," Journal für praktische Chemie, Band 167 (Neue Folge Band 59) (1899), pp. 247-48. The motivation for the doubled -r- is unclear, but in any case one r was soon dropped in both German and English.
