magnésite
common noun
Syllable Decomposition
magnésiteIn reference to its chemical composition, magnesium, as well as its type locality: Magnesia in Thessaly, Greece. The name magnesite was invented by Jean-Claude Delamétherie in 1785, but it encompassed various magnesium minerals (carbonate, sulfate, nitrate, and chloride) under this name. It was German mathematician Dietrich Ludwig Gustav Karsten (1768-1810) who restricted this term to carbonate in 1808.
