Word: azeotrope Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Ancient Greek ἀ- (a-, “no”) + ζέω (zéō, “to boil”) + τρόπος (trópos, “state”). 1. A mixture of two or more substances whose liquid and gaseous forms have the same composition (at a certain pressure); the substances cannot be separated by normal distillation. Example: The formation of azeotropes due to deviations from Raoult's law was discussed in Section 1.3. An azeotrope is a mixture that, at a given pressure (the azeotropic pressure), boils at a constant temperature (the azeotropic temperature), and has the same composition (the azeotropic composition) in the equilibrium vapor and liquid phases. Homogeneous azeotropes are those that form one liquid phase at equilibrium with the vapor; heterogeneous azeotropes are those that form two liquid phases at equilibrium with each other and the vapor. Example: When a ternary azeotrope does exist, the curves intersect at the same point. The presence of a unitary azeotrope curve is not a prerequisite for the generation of a ternary azeotrope.

Word: clubmoss Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative spelling of club moss. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: At the time the Burgess Shale was laid down, life on land was pretty unexciting – there were a few primitive clubmosses and liverworts growing in wet areas near water, but little else. There would also have been a strand-line of washed-up plants and animals, edible detritus that was tantalisingly out of reach of the water-bound animals of the day. Inevitably, before long some arthropods began to drag themselves ashore to take advantage of these untapped resources. Their external skeletons, which perhaps originally evolved as a defence against predators, helped to support their bodies on land, giving them an edge in colonisation there over soft-bodied sea animals such as jellyfish and worms. To start with, these animals would presumably have been poorly waterproofed and had to return to water very regularly to prevent themselves drying out; or they would have had to stay in the dampest places, amongst rotting weed or damp moss. […] As the plants slowly adapted to life on land and spread away from the seas, they also grew taller as the competition for light intensified. To follow them, the animals had to improve their waterproofing. Some animal groups never really got the hang of this; for example, the few crustaceans that successfully invaded land, such as woodlice, are restricted to damp places to this day. Others, such as arachnids, evolved more-or-less waterproof cuticles and eggs, so that they were able to leave water far behind and occupy even the most inhospitable, arid environments on Earth.

Word: Canary Islands Part of Speech: name 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.

Word: sulphuret Part of Speech: verb 1. Obsolete spelling of sulfuret. Labels: alt-of, obsolete
Word: sulfuret Part of Speech: noun 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. Pronunciation: /ˈsʌlfjəˌɹɛt/, /ˈsʌlfjuˌɹɛt/, /ˈsʌlfəˌɹɛt/ 1. A sulfide. Labels: obsolete Example: 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.
