Brit. /ɑːxtəˈraɡdʌɪt/, /axtəˈraɡdʌɪt/, U.S. /æxtəˈræɡˌdaɪt/
Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Achtaragdit.
Etymology: < German Achtaragdit ( E. F. Glocker Generum et specierum mineralium (1847) 305) < Achtaragda (Russian Axtaragda ), the name of a river in Yakutia (now the Sakha Republic) in Russia, where the mineral was apparently first found + -it -ite suffix1. Compare Russian axtaragdit (1868 or earlier).The coinage is sometimes attributed to A. Breithaupt, who studied the mineral (compare quot. 1865), but he uses the different German form Achtarandit (1853; < Achtaranda (Russian Axtaranda ), an alternative form of the river name + German -it -ite suffix1); compare the following earlier English example, borrowed directly from this German form:1855 Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 69 354 Achtarandite is a pseudomorph after Helvin according to Breithaupt. Compare also German †Achtaryndit (J. Auerbach 1868, with spec. reference to a local pronunciation of the river name).
