From the Related Link: magnet c.1440 (earlier magnes, 1398), from L. magnetum (nom. magnes) "lodestone," from Gk. ho Magnes lithos "the Magnesian stone," from Magnesia, region in Thessaly where magnetized ore was obtained. Spread from L. to most W. European languages (cf. Ger., Dan. magnet, Du. magneet, It., Sp., Port. magnete), but superseded in Fr. by aimant. Magnetism "personal charm" is from 1655; in the hypnotic sense it is from Mesmer (see mesmerize).
Some stones capable to attract and repeal each other, depending upon the relative position from one to another were found in an ancient Greek city, Magnesia ad Maeandrum. The Greek term magnēs(lithos), literally, stone of Magnesia, was converted into New Latin as magnet. The phenomenon presented by those stones was called magnetism.
