Etymology
Carbaryl comes from two chemical parts: carb (like 'carbon' or 'carbamate') and aryl (a chemist's word for a 'ring' of carbon atoms). So carbaryl is a carbon-based insecticide, and the name helps you remember it is a chemical built from a carbon ring plus a carbamate part used to kill pests.
