What language does calcium come from?

Answer 1

calcium came from a rock.

Yes, that's its source for plants and animals, but as a solution in water of limestone's & chalk's principle constituent, calcium carbonate.

Further back it derives from hydrolysis (a form of dissolution in water) of the calcium-silica compounds existing as minerals making up the igneous rock, granite. Thus released into the seas it can re-enter the complicated "rock cycle" by being taken up in the formation of limestone & chalk.

Ultimately, like every other chemical element on this planet and around the Universe, calcium is created by nuclear fusion in giant stars whose eventual death has the energy to initiate these reactions, and then to blow them out into Space in Supernovae bursts.

Answer 2

The word Calcium comes from the Latin word Calsis, which means lime.

Answer 3

Calcium is formed in stars, then ejected into space. Some of it happens to end up on Earth.

Answer 4

The symbol Ca comes from calcium, originating from Latin: calx, genitivus: calcis, meaning "lime"

Answer 5

Calcium is an element on the Periodic Table, so it is not derived from a language. The name "calcium" itself originates from the Latin word "calx," meaning lime.

Answer 6

Old English
