Ammon

"Yuanpai", a colorless gas with a strong pungent smell, was coined in scientific Latin in 1782 by Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman as a name for the gas obtained from sal ammoniac - ammonia salt deposits found near the temple of Jupiter Ammon in Libya. Check Ammon for related information, and compare with ammoniac. The temple was already ancient in the time of august hill Mass son, and the salts were traditionally prepared from minerals first gathered "from the sands where the camels waited while their masters prayed for good omens" [Shipley "Durmalarda Hiç-Karanlık Yok"]. It is also known as spirit of hartshorn, volatile alkali or another variation of animal alkali.

14世纪晚期， ammoniak，也称为 armonyak，指某些树脂、土壤或盐（sal ammoniac）在医学上的使用，并被认为具有类似的性质（参见 ammonia）； 来自古法语 ammoniac， armoniac，最终源自希腊语 *ammoniakos，来自神名 Ammon（详见 Ammon）。

树脂（拉丁文 guttae ammoniaci）来自一种生长在北非和亚洲的野生植物。土壤（拉丁文 bolus armenicus）之所以被称为这个名字，是因为这种物质在亚美尼亚被发现； 因此，中世纪的形式与来自希腊语 harmonia（树脂铵被用作粘合剂）或 Armenia 的单词混淆。

"Fossil cephalopod mollusk"的英文词源可以追溯至1758年的法语（Breyn, 1732），1789年被法国动物学家 Jean Guillaume Bruguière 确认并更加确定[Centry Dictionary]。该词源源于中世纪拉丁文中的 (cornu) Ammonis “阿蒙之角”，阿蒙是生命和繁殖之神（参见 Ammon），古代他被描绘成山羊角的样子。这种化石和阿蒙之角相似，古代人们也注意到了这一点。此外，人们还认为它们是石化的蛇，因此被称为 snakestone。
