მეთილი • (met'ili)=methyl=
μεθύλιο
WIKTIONARY: Etymology
From the German Methyl; compare the French méthyle.
French chemists Jean-Baptiste Dumas and Eugene Peligot, after determining methanol's chemical structure, introduced "methylene" from the Ancient Greek μέθυ (methy, “wine”) + ὕλη (hulē, “wood (patch of trees)”) with the intention of highlighting its origins, "alcohol made from wood (substance)", but with Greek language errors: the Greek for "wood (substance)" is xylo- (Ancient Greek ξύλον (ksulon, “wood”)). The term "methyl" was derived in about 1840 by back-formation from "methylene", and was then applied to describe "methyl alcohol".
