stibiate
|stib-i-ate|
/ˈstɪb.i.eɪt/
containing or combined with antimony
Etymology
'stibiate' originates from New Latin/Modern scientific coinage, ultimately from Latin 'stibium' meaning 'antimony'.
'stibium' (Latin) → New Latin/chemistry formation 'stibi-' + English adjectival/verb-forming suffix '-ate' → modern scientific English 'stibiate'.
Initially it referred directly to 'antimony' (the element 'stibium'); over time it came to mean 'containing or combined with antimony' or 'treated with antimony' in chemical and mineralogical contexts.
