† anthracitesn.

Forms: 1500s–1700s antracites, 1600s anthracitis, 1600s 1800s anthracites.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin anthracītis; Latin anthracītēs.

Etymology: Partly (i) < classical Latin anthracītis, kind of precious stone (Pliny; compare quot. 1601²) < Byzantine Greek ἀνθρακῖτις , feminine of ἀνθρακίτης (see below); and partly (ii) < classical Latin anthracītēs, kind of mineral or precious stone (Pliny; compare quot. 1601¹) < Byzantine Greek ἀνθρακίτης coal-like (although this is apparently first attested later) < ancient Greek ἀνθρακ- , ἄνθραξ charcoal, in Hellenistic Greek also coal (see anthrax n.) + -ίτης -ite suffix¹. Compare Middle French, French anthracite (1549 denoting a precious stone of a bright red colour), also †anthracitis (1562 in Du Pinet's translation of Pliny), Italian antracite (a1564 denoting a kind of precious stone occurring underground).

Obsolete.

Either of two stones described by Pliny: (a) a red gem, perhaps a garnet or spinel; (b) a black stone, perhaps a kind of slate.
