| potassium hydroxide | KOH;a strong, penetrating caustic. Synonym: caustic potash. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydroxide | <chemistry> A hydrate; a substance containing hydrogen and oxygen, made by combining water with an oxide, and yielding water by elimination. The hydroxides are regarded as compounds of hydroxyl, united usually with basic element or radical; as, calcium hydroxide ethyl hydroxide. Origin: Hydro-, 2 + oxide.
