nongaseous

/nˌɑŋɡˈæʃəs/ adj

Not gaseous.

Word Origin The word 'gas' was invented by a 17th-century chemist who took Greek 'khaos' (chaos, void) and turned it into a term for formless vapors. So nongaseous literally means 'not like chaos' — not in that vaporous state. The suffix -ous makes it an adjective, and non- negates it. Related words: gasoline, gaslight, gasworks — all from that coinage.
