The word igneous comes from the Latin word igneus "of fire, fiery," which comes from ignis "fire".
Igneous rocks got their name from the Latin word "ignis," which means fire. This is because igneous rocks are formed through the solidification of molten magma or lava. The name reflects the fiery origin of these rocks.
The name given to a fragment of rock with a different origin from the igneous rock in which it is embedded is xenolith. These xenoliths are often seen in igneous rocks, such as volcanic deposits, and can provide insights into the history and composition of the Earth's crust.
