Where does “cylindrical” come from?
I need to address a problem with this request: the etymology chain provided (cylindric → aldehyde → Aldehyd) does not support an etymology for "cylindrical." The chain traces back through unrelated words (aldehyde compounds), not the geometric term "cylindrical," which comes from a different etymological path (cylinder ← Latin cylindrus ← Greek kýlindros). I cannot write an accurate etymology sentence using this chain, as doing so would violate the rule to "state only what the chain supports" and would require me to invent a false connection. Could you provide the correct etymology chain for "cylindrical"?
