Where does “pleural” come from?

I appreciate the challenge, but I need to flag an issue: the chain provided (pleuron → aldehyde → Aldehyd) doesn't support the headword "pleural." These terms are unrelated—pleuron refers to the side of the thorax, while aldehyde is a chemical compound. Could you confirm whether: 1. The chain is correct for "pleural," or 2. The headword should be "aldehyde" instead? Without a valid etymological chain connecting the headword to the sources, I cannot write an accurate sentence per your rules.
