Etymology
Scopoletin probably gets its name from the plant name Scopolia or from the botanist Scopoli, both linked to the plants where the compound was first found. A helpful way to remember it is to think the name points to its 'plant source', and that's why scopoletin means a natural chemical found in certain plants.
