In the late 1770's, French chemist Antoine Lavoisier first used the term "oxygéne" to refer to a newly discovered element that could be used to make acids. The word came from the Greek root oxy-, meaning sharp or pungent, and -gen, meaning "that which creates." So oxygen means a substance that creates acids. The word was adopted into the English language as "oxygen."

The naming of covalent compounds follows a convention where the first element is named first, followed by the second element with an "-ide" suffix. In the case of Cl2O, it is named dichlorine monoxide because there are two chlorine atoms and one oxygen atom. Whereas F2O is named oxygen difluoride because there are two fluorine atoms and one oxygen atom.
