'adinole' originates from French, specifically the word 'adinole,' where 'adi-' meant 'near' and 'nole' referred to 'a type of rock.'

'adinole' changed from the French word 'adinole' and eventually became the modern English word 'adinole'.

Initially, it meant 'a type of rock found near metamorphic regions,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
