Etymology
of Arabic words: the word الأنتراسيت
means
anthracite and going back we find the root in the greek word
ανθρακίτης meaning coal-like
which in turn derives from the word άνθραξ meaning coal/live
coal.In Turkish is antrasit/taşkömürüdür.
P.S. For millennia, coal has been a vital energy source to the human population. The Chinese
relied on coal around 1000BC to smelt copper that served as the basis for their currency, and the
Greek philosopher Aristotle made reference to it in his writings when he alluded to a dark
charcoal like rock.
