X is for Xylene

I, at first, thought this was a sequel to that Dolly Parton song 'Jolene', but no.  According to the list I found it is a colourless, flammable liquid hydrocarbon used as a solvent.

Not a crossword solvent.

I wonder why that name though?
I presume that it's a good Scrabble word!
Have a good weekend.

I'm presuming it's pronounced like 'Zye-leen".
Not the modern sexed-up X, as in "Doctor Xavier (Ecks-Haveyer).
Thought so.
These industrial chemists, they need to get out more. See some films.
