Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: white adj., flux n.

Etymology: < white adj. + flux n.In sense 1a after post-classical Latin leucorrhoea leucorrhœa n.; compare classical Latin fluctiōnēs albae , plural (Pliny), post-classical Latin fluor albus (1539 or earlier), and also German weißer Fluss (mid 14th cent. in Middle High German or early modern German; after Latin), all in sense ‘leucorrhoea’. In sense 1b apparently partly (with reference to tropical sprue) after post-classical Latin diarrhoea alba (1759 or earlier). In sense 2 originally after post-classical Latin fluxus albus (1739 in the passage translated in quot. 1741, or earlier).

2. Metallurgy. Originally: a white substance, consisting chiefly of potassium carbonate, used as a flux (flux n. 11a) in the smelting and assaying of metals. Now also: any of various other white substances used as a flux (e.g. in welding, soldering, or brazing), often containing salts of boron or fluorine.
