nomenclature

Die chemische Nomenklatur legt fest, wie chemische Verbindungen benannt werden.
Chemical nomenclature determines how chemical compounds are named.
The word comes from the Latin 'nomenclatura' (list of names). It contains the word 'Nomen', which in German means 'Substantiv' (noun). This connection to the idea of a 'name' helps you remember the meaning.

'Nomenklatur' (nomenclature) is a technical term and is mainly used in scientific, academic, or very formal contexts. The word is rare in everyday language.

For his doctoral thesis, he had to learn the specific nomenclature of botany.
The word is often combined with an adjective or a genitive to specify the field. Typical examples are 'chemische Nomenklatur' (chemical nomenclature), 'biologische Nomenklatur' (biological nomenclature), or 'die Nomenklatur der Zoologie' (the nomenclature of zoology).
