'agricolite' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'agros,' where 'agro-' meant 'field' and '-lite' is a common suffix for minerals.

'agros' transformed into the Latin word 'agricola,' and eventually became the modern English word 'agricolite' through scientific naming conventions.

Initially, it meant 'field stone,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a rare mineral.'
