Platinum=بلاتينوم
Platinum=بلاتينوم
- ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
- platinum (n.)
- metallic element, 1812, Modern Latin, from Spanish platina "platinum," dim. of plata "silver," from O.Fr. plate or Old Provençal plata "sheet of metal" (see plate (n.)). The metal looks like silver, and the Spaniards at first thought it an inferior sort of silver, hence the name platina. It was first obtained from Spanish colonies in Mexico and Colombia, brought to Europe in 1735, and identified as an element 1741. Taken into English as platina (c.1750), it took its modern form (with element ending -ium) in 1812, at the time the names of elements were being regularized. As a shade of blond hair, attested from 1931. As a designation for a recording that has sold at least one million copies, it is attested from 1971.
- plate (n.)
- mid-13c., "flat sheet of gold or silver," also "flat, round coin," from O.Fr. plate "thin piece of metal" (late 12c.), from M.L. plata "plate, piece of metal," perhaps via V.L. *plattus, formed on model of Gk. platys "flat, broad" (see plaice (n.)). The cognate in Spanish (plata) and Portuguese (prata) has become the usual word for "silver," superseding argento via shortening of *plata d'argento "plate of silver, coin." Meaning "table utensils" (originally of silver or gold only) is from Middle English. Meaning "shallow dish for food," now usually of china or earthenware, originally of metal or wood, is from mid-15c. Baseball sense is from 1857. Geological sense is first attested 1904; plate tectonics first recorded 1969. Plate-glass first recorded 1727.
