Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Greek ὄϕις , calcite n.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ὄϕις serpent (see ophio- comb. form) + calcite n., after French ophicalce (A. Brongniart 1813, in Jrnl. des mines 34 38). Compare German Ophicalcit.

Geology.
