nearsalt
Nearsalt is a term sometimes used informally to describe something that is very similar to salt, particularly sodium chloride, but not exactly the same. It often refers to chemical compounds that share some of the properties of salt, such as a crystalline structure or a salty taste, but differ in their chemical composition. For example, potassium chloride, which is used as a salt substitute in some food products, can be considered a nearsalt due to its similar taste and texture to sodium chloride.
The term is not a formal scientific classification and is not found in standard chemical or geological
