Root Explanation

Pararosaniline is formed from "para-" (meaning alongside or beyond) and "rosaniline" (a compound derived from aniline, which comes from the Latin "anilinus", meaning indigo). The term refers to a specific type of dye that is related to the structure of rosaniline, which is itself a derivative of aniline.

Memory Tip

Think of 'para-' meaning 'alongside' and 'rosaniline' as a type of dye — this helps you remember that pararosaniline is a dye related to rosaniline.
