iron alumn.

Brit.

/ˌʌɪən ˈaləm/, U.S.

/ˌaɪ(ə)rn ˈæləm/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps modelled on a German lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: iron n.¹, alum n.¹

Etymology: < iron n.¹ + alum n.¹, perhaps after German Eisenalaun (1822 or earlier in sense 1, 1839 or earlier in sense 2) or French alun de fer (1814 or earlier in sense 1, 1833 or earlier in sense 2). With sense 2 compare also post-classical Latin alumen ferrosum (1844 or earlier: see quot. 1844).

1. Chemistry. Each of two hydrated double sulphates of (ferric) iron and (respectively) potassium and ammonium, belonging to the series of alums (alum n.¹ 2) and typically pale violet in colour.Formula: KFe(SO₄)₂·12H₂O (with potassium); (NH₄)Fe(SO₄)₂·12H₂O (with ammonium).
