    It’s not really accurate though because it’s not an acid. Something like hydrogen hydroxide might be better because it implies it’s a base without outright saying it. Though hydroxic acid does still sound worse.

    Does chemistry have a naming convention for something that should be there but isn’t? If so, you could add a bunch of scary sounding elements to it, like a chemical name for leadless lead water.
