Its name derives from the Greek roots
ὀξύς (oxys) ("acid", literally "sharp", referring to the sour taste of acids)
and
-γενής (-genēs) ("producer", literally "begetter"),

It is something that is colorless and is an element.
Oxygen's original name is derived from the Greek words "oxys" and "genes," which when combined mean "acid-forming." This name was given by Antoine Lavoisier in the late 18th century when he identified oxygen as an element that was essential for combustion.
