Etymology
Acetylation comes from acetyl, which traces back to Latin acetum meaning 'vinegar', and the ending -ation meaning 'the action of'. So, acetylation is the action of adding an 'acetyl' (a small part related to 'acetic acid', the acid in 'vinegar') to a molecule, which helps explain why this change can change a protein's or enzyme's function.
