  1. Vitamin D₃ (C₂₇H₄₄O) uncountable
    — Owing to the exceptional difficulty of purification in the sterol group, we cannot yet be certain that this substance is a single compound, but we think the provisional adoption of a new name is justified, for the sake of convenience, and suggest “Calciferol” in view of the high antirachitic activity of the substance.

词源

Coined in 1931 as a blend of calciferous + sterol (see quote below).
