Morphology
pantothenic = pantothen (opaque) = pantothen + ic

Pantothenic comes from Greek words meaning 'from everywhere', with the pan- part meaning 'all' (like in pandemic). Scientists named the acid this because it is found in many foods, so pantothenic describes the vitamin that helps your body use energy from food.
