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.
