Forms: 1800s agalmatholite, 1800s agalmatholithe, 1800s agalmatolithe, 1800s– agalmatolite.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Greek ἀγαλματο- , ἀγαλματ- , ἄγαλμα , -lite comb. form¹.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ἀγαλματο-, combining form (in e.g. ἀγαλματοποιός sculptor) of ἀγαλματ-, ἄγαλμα statue, image (see agalma n.) + -lite comb. form¹, after scientific Latin agalmatolithus ( M. H. Klaproth Beiträge zur chem. Kenntniss der Mineralkörper (1795) II. 184, in the source translated in quot. 1801, in a German context, alongside German Bildstein , literally ‘image stone, sculpted stone’; compare quot. 1798).
