Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
butane (noun)
either of two isomeric flammable gaseous alkanes CH obtained usually from petroleum or natural gas and used as fuels - 4 10
Butane (Wikipedia)
Not to be confused with butene, butyne, or Bhutan.

Butane (/ˈbjuːteɪn/) is an alkane with the formula C4H10. Butane exists as two isomers, n-butane with connectivity CH3CH2CH2CH3 and iso-butane with the formula (CH3)3CH. Both isomers are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases that quickly vaporize at room temperature and pressure. Butanes are a trace components of natural gases (NG gases). The other hydrocarbons in NG include propane, ethane, and especially methane, which are more abundant. Liquefied petroleum gas is a mixture of propane and some butanes.

The name butane comes from the root but- (from butyric acid, named after the Greek word for butter) and the suffix -ane (for organic compounds).

English

Etymology
