ammonia(n.)
"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.

"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。

ammunition(n.)
1620年代,“军需品和供应品”,源自法语士兵错误地将法语 la munition 分开,好像是 *l'amunition; 源自拉丁语 munitionem(主格 munitio)“加强”(参见 munition)。
这个词的错误可能是受到法语 a(d)monition “警告”的影响。这个错误在法语中得到了纠正(现代法语 munition),但在英语中保留了下来,用不符合词源的双 -m- 拼写来符合拉丁语中的单词。起初,它的意思是所有军事用品; 在现代用法中,它只表示用于发射火器和军械的材料。
