Louis-Bernard Guyton de Morveau helped design a systematic chemical nomenclature in the 1787 Méthode de nomenclature chimique. His contribution sets out names for simple substances and uses those names to construct names for their compounds. The project linked vocabulary with the chemical relationships that the new system aimed to express.[ref]
