pyr|role
pyr|role «pih ROHL, py-; PIHR ohl, PY rohl», noun.
a colorless liquid, that smells like chloroform, obtained mostly from coal tar. It is the parent compound of chlorophyll, hemin, various proteins, and other important natural substances. »

Formula: C4H5N
[< German Pyrrol < Greek pyrrhós fiery red + German -ol -ole]
