Etymology of MENTHENOL

The word "menthenol" appears to be a combination of two separate terms: "menth" and "enol".

"Menth" is derived from "mentha", which is the Latin name for the mint plant. It ultimately traces back to the Greek word "minthē". Mint is a well-known herb known for its strong and refreshing aroma.

"Enol" is a term used in organic chemistry to describe a certain type of compound consisting of an alkene group (-C=C-) and an alcohol group (-OH). The term "enol" is derived from the blending of "ene" (a suffix indicating a double bond) and "ol" (a suffix indicating an alcohol group).

By combining "menth" from mint and "enol" from the organic chemistry term, "menthenol" likely signifies a compound that has properties of both mint and enol.
