英语词汇uranium的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

uranium; Uranus. English astronomer Sir William Herschel first named the planet Uranus Georgium Sidus after England’s absurd King George III, this name later changed, more appro- priately, to Uranus by German astronomer Johann Bode, so it would be in conformity with other planetary names from clas- sical mythology. Uranus is the Latin name of the Greek god of heaven, who was both son and husband of Gaea, goddess of the earth, whose name gives us geography, geology, and other words relating to the earth. The children of Uranus and Gaea, 12 male and female giants called Titans, have their name honored in ti- tanic, “anything of great size or force,” and the element titanium, discovered in 1795. The element uranium, so important in to- day’s world, is also in the family, named for Uranus in 1789.
