In chemistry, a semisystematic name is a name for a chemical compound that contains some elements of systematic chemical nomenclature but is not completely systematic. Examples include methane, propanol, benzoic acid, glycerol, acetone, styrene. Many semisystematic names are retained names in IUPAC nomenclature, and may also be preferred IUPAC names.
