Etymology

Particularly: “the etymology is nearly identical to that of racemic, but this entry would need information on the origin of the "-o" suffix”

Pronunciation

Adjective

[edit]

racemo (not comparable)

  1. (chemistry, dated, proscribed) Of a tactic diad, having structural units in opposition.

Usage notes

[edit]

As the adjectives "racemic" and "nonracemic" apply to whole molecules, not structural units, "racemo" is considered misleadingly imprecise and was formally proscribed in 2019; modern usage is to write just "r", formerly an abbreviation for "racemo".
