Like many words in chemistry, carbon dioxide's etymology has roots in Latin and French.
The word "carbon" is derived from the Latin word carbon(also carbo) meaning "coal" or "charcoal."
The compound "dioxide" consists of two parts, "di-" and "oxide" from the Latin prefix di-, meaning "two" and a combination of the French word oxygène, meaning "oxygen," and the French suffix -ide, meaning "of this (suffix attachment)."
