Enantioblastic is a technical term used in chemistry to describe a molecule that is capable of forming mirror image isomers. The word is spelled as [ɛnæntiəʊˈblæstɪk] with IPA phonetic transcription. It is derived from the Greek words "enantios," meaning "opposite," and "blastos," meaning "bud" or "sprout." The -blastic suffix generally refers to cell lineage or division. Therefore, enantioblastic refers to the division or growth of mirror-image molecules. This term is essential in the study of chirality, a concept that is crucial in drug development and other chemical applications.
