'cyanide-bonded' originates from 'cyanide,' which comes from the Greek word 'kyanos,' meaning 'dark blue,' and 'bonded,' from the Old English 'bonda,' meaning 'to bind or tie.'

'cyanide' was derived from the French 'cyan,' referring to the blue color of Prussian blue, and 'bonded' evolved from the Old English 'bonda,' eventually becoming the modern English 'bonded.'

Initially, 'cyanide' referred to the blue pigment, but over time it evolved to refer to the chemical compound, and 'bonded' has retained its meaning of being joined or connected.
