Etymology of BENZOLE

The word "benzole" is derived from the name "benzene", which is a colorless, aromatic hydrocarbon compound. "Benzene" was first isolated and named by the English chemist Michael Faraday in 1825. He derived the name from the German word "Benzin", which means "essence" or "oil". The term "Benzin" was itself derived from the name of the fruit of a tree called "Benzoin" (Styrax benzoin), which produces a fragrant resin. Over time, "benzene" became the established name for the compound, and "benzole" emerged as a variation of it. Both words are used to refer to the same chemical compound.
