azote

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from French azote, from Ancient Greek ἀ- (a-, “without”) + ζωή (zōḗ, “life”) + -τικός (-tikós, “adjective suffix”). Named by French chemist and biologist Antoine Lavoisier, who saw it as the part of air which cannot sustain life. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈæzəʊt/ Hyphenation: az‧ote === Noun === azote (uncountable) (now historical) Nitrogen. 1823, Chemistry, entry in Charles Maclaren (chief editor), Encyclopædia Britannica, 6th Edition, page 366, Hence it is obvious that deutoxide of azote is a compound of one volume of azote and one volume of oxygen gas united together, without any alteration of volume, consequently its specific gravity is the mean of that of oxygen and azotic gases.It is composed, by weight, of azote 0.9722 or 1.75, oxygen 1.1111 or 2. If we reckon the atomic weight of azote 1.75, this gas is obviously a compound of one atom azote and two atoms oxygen. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== == French == === Etymology === From Ancient Greek ἀ- (a-, “not”) + ζωή (zōḗ, “life”), coined by Antoine Lavoisier. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /a.zɔt/ === Noun === azote m (plural azotes) nitrogen Synonym: (obsolete) nitrogène ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === Further reading === “azote”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 == Latvian == === Noun === azote f (5th declension) bosom ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== kā azotē audzēt čūsku azotē sildīt čūsku azotē == Portuguese == === Verb === azote inflection of azotar: first/third-person singular present subjunctive third-person singular imperative == Spanish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /aˈθote/ [aˈθo.t̪e] (Equatorial Guinea, Spain) IPA(key): /aˈsote/ [aˈso.t̪e] (Latin America, Philippines) Rhymes: -ote Syllabification: a‧zo‧te === Etymology 1 === Borrowed from Arabic السَوْط (as-sawṭ, “whip, cane”).
