Definition of theelin

1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

noun

  1. (uncountable)The steroid hormone estrone.
    “The isolation of the crystalline hormone seems to justify the selection of a new name which should be reserved for the crystalline material and which in reality becomes the name of a new and probably hitherto unknown chemical substance. Accordingly, we suggest the term “theelin.“ This word is derived from the Greek word “theelus” used both adjectively and nominally to signify “female.””
