azoimide singular

Morphology

azoimide = imide (opaque) = azo + imide

Formed from the chemical combining form 'azo-' plus 'imide', but these are technical morphemes unlikely to be understood by an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Azoimide breaks into two parts: azo- meaning 'nitrogen' (as in the old name azote) and -imide for a kind of nitrogen compound. Because it is 'full of nitrogen' and reacts easily like other imides, azoimide is a dangerous, explosive, and poisonous research liquid.
