Canary Islands
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Pronunciation: ipa: /kəˈnɛəɹi ˌaɪləndz/
Forms: form: the Canary Islands
Etymology: Partial calque of Spanish Islas Canarias, itself likely a partial calque, with the plural of isla (“island”), of Latin Canāriae Īnsulae (literally “Islands of the Dogs”), from the feminine plural of canārius (“of or pertaining to dogs”) + the plural of īnsula f (“island”). Perhaps so named because monk seals or sea dogs were abundant, a name that was evidently generalized from the ancient name of one of these islands, Canaria – presumably Gran Canaria. According to the historian Pliny the Elder, the island Canaria contained “vast multitudes of dogs of very large size”. The connection to dogs is retained in the autonomous community’s coat of arms, which is also included in its flag. The canary was named after the islands, not vice versa.

sulfuret
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: /ˈsʌlfjəˌɹɛt/
/ˈsʌlfjuˌɹɛt/
/ˈsʌlfəˌɹɛt/
Forms: form: sulfurets
Etymology: From Latin sulphuretum (“relating to sulphur; sulphide”), coined in 1788 as sulphuret by the translator of de Morveau, Lavoisier et al.'s 1787 book Méthode de nomenclature chimique James St. John as a translation of French sulfure.
By surface analysis, sulfur + -uret.
Senses: examples: The French word for sulphur is soufre, and the new French name for the combinations of sulphur in its simple state with metals, &c. is sulfure. Thus in the French language there is a remarkable difference between the words soufre and sulfure: but in English, especially as spondees are very uncommon in our language, we perhaps should not always make the proper distinction in pronunciation between the words sulphur and sulphure; as we might thereby mistake a combination of sulphur and arsenic for simple sulphur, and as the Latin word is sulphuretum; and especially, as perspicuity in expression should be holden above all other considerations in a language, I did not hesitate to render the French word sulfure into English by the word sulphuret, which is merely an abbreviation of the Latin word sulphuretum.
