this one is giving me a hard time.
I just guessed. I was somewhat surprised that my guess happened to be successful, because I don’t recall ever seeing that word before.
Is that even a real word?

Yes, but I think it’s relatively new, and maybe it would be considered a sort of special term. At the risk of giving away too much, I think it’s a portmanteau (if I understand the word portmanteau correctly), a combination of two words–in this case, fragments of two words. To make things even more challenging, the first fragment of the portmanteau is a very short abbreviation. Both words represented in the combination are scientific. The second word fragment makes up two-thirds of the word, and should be recognizable.
Dictionary.com doesn’t have the word (as far as I can tell), and neither does The American Heritage Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary, or Macmillan Dictionary, but Merriam-Webster has it, and so do Wiktionary, Wikipedia, and Collins Dictionary.
