Etymology of MYRONIC ACID

The word "myronic acid" is derived from the name "Myro" and the suffix "-ic acid". Myro refers to a genus of tree, commonly known as "Myroxylon", which produces a fragrant resin known as "balsam of Peru". The name "myronic acid" was given to a compound that was isolated from this balsam and identified as an acid, hence the addition of the suffix "-ic acid" indicating its acidic nature.
