sulfide-saturated
|sul-fide-sat-u-rated|
/ˈsʌlfaɪd ˈsætʃəˌreɪtɪd/
maximum sulfide absorption
Etymology
'sulfide-saturated' originates from the combination of 'sulfide' and 'saturated'. 'Sulfide' comes from the Latin 'sulfur', meaning 'brimstone', and 'saturated' from the Latin 'saturatus', meaning 'filled' or 'sated'.
'Sulfide' evolved from the Latin 'sulfur', and 'saturated' from the Latin 'saturatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'sulfide-saturated'.
Initially, 'sulfide' referred to compounds containing sulfur, and 'saturated' meant fully absorbed. Together, they describe a state of maximum sulfide absorption.
