Element Breakdown
Dysprosium (Dy)
Dysprosium gets its name from the Greek word 'dysprositos,' meaning 'hard to get at,' because it was extremely difficult to isolate from other rare earth elements.
Uranium (U)
Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, who named it after the planet Uranus, which had been discovered just eight years earlier.
Sulfur (S)
Sulfur is one of the oldest known elements — ancient civilizations called it 'brimstone' and associated it with volcanoes and the underworld.
Potassium (K)
Potassium's symbol 'K' comes from 'kalium,' its Latin name, which traces back to the Arabic word 'qali' meaning plant ashes — because potassium was originally extracted from wood ash.
