| 词汇 | cyan- |
| 词源 | cyan-word-forming element used in science for the carbon-nitrogen compound radical, from a Latinized form of Greek kyanos " The immediate source of its use in science is French cyanogène, the name given to the compound radical by Gay-Lussac. He called it that because it first had been obtained by heating the dye pigment powder known as Prussian blue (see Prussian). The cyanogen radical was one of the first examples of a 'compound radical' and was of importance in the development of structural chemistry during the next forty years.
