World English Historical Dictionary Dictionary Biographies Literary Criticism Welcome Terms of Service ⧏ Previous Next ⧐ Contents Slice Contents Key Bibliographic Record Murray’s New English Dictionary. 1888, rev. 2024. -ane suffix. 1. Occas. Eng. ad. L. -ānus, perh. orig. a. Fr. -ain; used, chiefly for sake of distinction, in words that have a parallel form in -an, as germane, humane, urbane, also in mundane.

1   2.  Chemical formative. † a. Arbitrary ending proposed by Davy for names of monochlorides, now obsolete. (See Watts, Dict. Chem., IV. 121.)

2   b.  Organic Chem. In the systematic nomenclature proposed by Hofmann 1866, the formative of the names of the saturated hydrocarbons of composition C11H2n+2, also called paraffines; as Methane CH4 (formerly Methyl hydride), Ethane C2H4, Propane C3H8, Butane or Quartane C4H10, Pentane C5H12, Hexane C6H14, etc. [The formation is purely imitative; the Greek feminine patronymic endings -ene, -ine, -one (-ήνη, -ίνη, -ώνη) were already in partial use in naming hydrocarbon derivatives. Hofmann proposed the adoption of the entire vowel series -ane, -ene, -ine, -one, -une, and the strict application of these to hydrocarbons of the types CnH2n+2, CnH2n, CnH2n–2, CnH2n–4, CnH2n–6, or their analogues, respectively. So far as concerns the first three members this has been generally adopted.]
