The name of which element is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word and its symbol
comes from the Latin word ‘Aurum’?
Argon
Gold
Aluminium
Silver
- Option 1: Argon
Argon’s name comes straight from the Greek word "argos," meaning inactive or lazy, because argon is so unreactive. Its symbol is Ar. Nothing Anglo-Saxon or Latin about it.
- Option 2: Gold
Here’s the thing: “gold” is the old English (Anglo-Saxon) name for the element, and that’s where the English word comes from. Its chemical symbol is Au, which traces back to the Latin “Aurum.” That’s exactly what the question asks for.
Gold checks both boxes—Anglo-Saxon name, Latin symbol.
- Option 3: Aluminium
The story here: aluminium’s name comes mostly from "alum," which is Latin in origin. Its symbol is Al. No connection to Anglo-Saxon or Latin “aurum.”
- Option 4: Silver
“Silver” comes from the Anglo-Saxon “seolfor,” but its symbol (Ag) is short for the Latin "argentum." Still, the symbol isn’t from “Aurum”—so it doesn’t fit the question.
So, Option 2—Gold is right.
