malachiten.adj.

Brit.

/ˈmaləkʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈmæləˌkaɪt/

Forms:

α. Middle English melochites, Middle English molochites, 1600s–1700s malachites, 1700s molochites.

β. late Middle English melochyte, 1500s molochite, 1500s–1600s melochite, 1600s– malachite, 1700s malachquite.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French melochite; Latin molochītis.

Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman melochite (12th cent.), and its etymon (ii) classical Latin molochītis (in post-classical Latin usually molochites , also melochites ) a dense subtranslucent or opaque Arabian stone the colour of the mallow < (according to Pliny) an ancient Greek or Hellenistic Greek compound of μολόχη , variant of μαλάχη mallow (compare malva n.) + -ῖτις -ite suffix¹.Pliny's explanation may be a folk etymology (derivation from a toponym, Assyrian Meluhha , of uncertain whereabouts, has been proposed in its stead); nor is it clear that he refers to the stone now called malachite , since he does not mention the highly distinctive banded appearance of this mineral, and the colour most strongly associated with the mallow is purple (see mauve n. and adj.), not green. With the form molochite, compare Middle French molochite (in phrase pierre molochite, 1562). The modern English form, like French malachite (1685), is after ancient Greek μαλάχη.

A. n.

1. A monoclinic basic copper carbonate, Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂, of a deep green colour, usually occurring as banded botryoidal crusts of aggregated fibres, and used ornamentally and as an ore of copper; (also) a specimen or piece of this mineral.
