Exo

Japanese: エキソ
Exo
Originally a prefix derived from the Greek word meaning "outside, outside." It is paired with the prefix endo, meaning "inside, inside." In the stereochemical nomenclature of organic compounds, exo was originally used as a prefix to indicate a position closer to the main bridging group of bicyclic compounds such as camphor. For example, the hydroxyl group of isoborneol, -OH, is closer to the main bridging group -C(CH 3 ) 2 -, so it is an exo type, whereas the hydroxyl group of borneol is an endo type. In general, the exo position has less steric hindrance than the endo position.

Japanese:
元来は,〈外,外部〉を意味するギリシア語に由来する接頭語。〈内,内部〉を表す接頭語エンドendoと対をなす。有機化合物の立体化学命名法で,エキソは,もともとショウノウのような二環式化合物の主橋状基に,より近い位置を示すための接頭語として用いられた。たとえばイソボルネオールの水酸基-OHは主橋状基-C(CH3)2-に近いのでエキソ型,ボルネオールの水酸基はこれに対してエンド型である。一般にエンド位置に比べてエキソ位置は立体障害が少ない。
