AN IDEA STRIKES

I'm a nerd, I like to learn new things. Particularly words. So, I'm going to try and get a new word up every day and see if I can educate y'all as to what it means. briefly. :)

Today's word: ogliomerization

In chemistry, an oligomer consists of a limited number of monomer units (ολιγος, or oligos, is Greek for "a few"), in contrast to a polymer that, at least in principle, consists of an unlimited number of monomers[1].

Many oils are ogliomers. :) Hope this is a good starter! ;P I'm gonna get worse, I can tell. Soon I'll be doing words like zenzizenzizenzicube *yes it's an actual word*.
