Morphology
nmol = nanomole (semi-transparent) = n + mol
The form 'nmol' is a clipped/abbreviated form of 'nanomole'; understanding it requires knowledge of the SI prefix 'nano-' and the unit 'mole', so it is only partially transparent to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
The word nmol combines the prefix nano- and mol. Nano- means 'one billionth' and you see it in words like nanometer to show something very small, while mol is short for the chemistry unit 'mole' meaning an 'amount' of a chemical, so nmol means 'one billionth of a mole'.
