单词 wolfram
释义

wolframn.

Brit. /ˈwʊlfrəm/, /ˈvɒlfrəm/, U.S. /ˈwʊlfrəm/
Etymology: < German wolfram (wolform in Mathesius, 1562, wolffram in Ercker, 1580, volfram in Wallerius, Mineralogia, 1747), of uncertain formation: generally assumed to be an old miners' term < wolf wolf + rahm cream (compare rahmerz foamy wad), and to be the source of modern Latin lupi spuma (Agricola De Nat. Foss., 1546), which corresponds, however, to German wolfsschaum; but perhaps < Middle High German râm dirty mark, soot. The variants of the German word, e.g. wolffram(m, wolf(f)ert, wolfart, wolfrath, suggest association with proper names. Since Agricola describes the lupi spuma as a light ‘stone’, it is improbable that it was the mineral wolfram.
