Bromine etymology
[edit]The etymology of Bromine remains incorrect as of December 24, 2022 (having been so for many years). "Bromine" comes from the Greek word βρῶμος, not βρόμος. Here is the Oxford English Dictionary etymology. The notion that it comes from βρόμος is wrong. See the entry in the authoritative Liddel-Scott-Jones Greek Lexicon [LSJ] for βρῶμος and the entry for βρόμος. Only βρῶμος yields the correct etymological meaning of "stench." --Metrodorus (talk) 00:08, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
Copernicium etymology is erroneous
[edit]From the Copernicus article, while the Koper part may come from German copper (or it could come from Polish hill), the second part decidedly does not come from the word "nickel".--2600:1700:38D0:2870:3008:C931:FF6F:4210 (talk) 15:52, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
