1796Kirwan Elem. Min. (ed. 2) II. 328 Oxymuriatic Acid and Aqua Regia scarcely affect it. Ibid. 462 He observed it to yield oxymuriatic Gas. 1807T. Thomson Chem. (ed. 3) II. 225 Oxymuriatic acid was discovered by Scheele in 1774... He gave it the name of dephlogisticated muriatic acid, from the supposition that it is muriatic acid deprived of phlogiston. The French chemists, after its composition had been ascertained, called it oxygenated muriatic acid; which unwieldy appellation Kirwan has happily contracted into oxymuriatic. 1835Sir J.
