It is just criminal that the word "cinnamyl" os not in this grid

8:43 pm

hurshy

huh. what is it, some kind of blend of cinnamon with something else?

8:44 pm

SamanthaJoy

No, it's a kind of alcohol. Used for perfumes and suspensions, not for drinking.

8:44 pm

hurshy

does it SMELL like cinnamon?

8:45 pm

SamanthaJoy

. . . Yes? Sweet and spicy, at the same time, certainly.

8:46 pm

Gillie

It is found in cinnamon, apparently

8:47 pm

SamanthaJoy

It's used to extract cinnamon

8:47 pm

Gillie

No, it's found (in small amounts) in natural cinnamon, among other places

8:47 pm

SamanthaJoy

One of the places it's found in solidified, powdered form is in cinnamon leaves

8:48 pm

SamanthaJoy

It's an alcohol but it's solid when it's pure. It's a strange substance.

8:49 pm

SamanthaJoy

Oh! I went to the Wikipedia page and you're right; sorry. I thought the oil was used to extract cinnamon but I was wrong; thanks for correcting me!

8:49 pm
