zirconn.

Brit.

/ˈzəːkɒn/, U.S.

/ˈzərˌkɑn/

Forms: 1700s–1800s circon, 1800s– zircon, 1800s– zircone.

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Zirkon.

Etymology: < German Zirkon ( A. G. Werner Cronstedts Versuch einer Mineralogie (1780) 162), probably an alteration of German †Cerkonier colourless zircon (1773 or earlier, usually with plural agreement; also as Circonier , Zerkonier , Zirkonier ), itself apparently an assimilated borrowing < Italian (now archaic and rare) giargone , giarcone , zargone , gergone (14th cent., plural giargoni ; compare jargon n.²) < Old French, Middle French jacunce , jargunce jacounce n. Compare jargon n.², jacounce n., jacinth n., and hyacinth n.Compare French jargon de Ceylan , in the same sense (1783 in J.-B.-L. Romé de l'Isle Cristallographie II. 229, referred to in Klaproth), and French zircon (1789 as zirkon ; < German). Compare scientific Latin circonius , adjective (1789 in silex circonius (compare silex n.¹), M. H. Klaproth in Beobachtungen und Entdeckungen aus der Naturkunde III. (1789) 148, perhaps with reference to an unpublished work by A. G. Werner).

Mineralogy.

A mineral which consists of zirconium silicate and occurs as prismatic crystals, most commonly light or reddish brown but sometimes colourless, grey, yellow, green, or blue. Also: a crystal or gem of this mineral.Chemical formula: ZrSiO₄, often with small amounts of rare-earth and other metals. Crystal system: tetragonal.

Zircon is a widespread minor component of igneous rocks. Colourless and transparent varieties are used as gems: cf. hyacinth n. 1b, jacinth n. 1b, jargon n.², Matara diamond n.
