Etymology

The term 'iodide' derives from the International Scientific Vocabulary, which was formed in the early 19th century. It combines the root 'iod-, from iodine', and the suffix '-ide', which is used in chemistry to denote a binary compound or an anion related to a specific element. Iodine itself was discovered in 1811 by French chemist Bernard Courtois, who isolated it from seaweed ashes. As scientists began to explore the properties of iodine, they recognized the importance of its anionic form, leading to the adoption of the term 'iodide' in chemical nomenclature. The recognition of iodide's role in biological systems, particularly in thyroid hormone synthesis, further emphasizes the relevance of the term in both chemistry and medicine.
