iodine[iodine 词源字典]

iodine: [19] Íon was the Greek word for ‘violet’ (indeed it is related to English violet). From it was derived the adjective iódēs ‘violetcoloured’, which was taken by the chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac as the basis of iode, the French term for ‘iodine’ (iodine gives off a purple vapour when heated). The British chemist Sir Humphry Davy adopted it into English, adding the suffix -ine to produce iodine.
