About

The modern phonosemantic character 酰 was created by combining 酉 (the wine radical, often used in chemical terms) as the meaning component, and 先 as the phonetic. It does not appear in classical texts and was coined for organic chemistry, where it designates the acyl radical, a functional group derived by removing one or more hydroxyl groups from an oxoacid.
