Tips

usage
A modern chemistry coinage for the 'azole' ring. You meet it as a suffix in compound names like 噻唑 ('thiazole') and 咪唑 ('imidazole'), not on its own.

Components

radical
口 kǒu
mouth
Mouth, the radical. In modern transliterated chemical names the mouth radical commonly flags a borrowed-sound word, the same trick as in 吡 and 啶.
phonetic
坐 zuò
to sit; phonetic
To sit, supplying the sound zuò with an exact match. It is purely phonetic here, picked to spell the 'zole' syllable of azole.
