educt [obsolete]

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.E01890
Term used mainly in the German literature for starting material (reactant). It should be avoided in English, because there it means 'something that comes out' and not 'something that goes in'. The German use of the term is in fact also incorrect.
