xenon:氙

氙是普通人不太熟悉的气体,无色,无臭,无味。它是1898年英国化学家拉姆齐(Sir William Ramsay, 1852-1916)发现的,他在重新分馏六个星期前所发现的稀有气体氦时分离制得氙。他取希腊语xénos 'strange, stranger'(陌生的,陌生人)的中性形式,将它命名为xenon,这是因为该气体极为稀少,且化学性质不活泼的缘故。

英语有个借自希腊语的组合语素xeno-也是源于希腊语xénos的,它含有“陌生人”、“外国人”、“陌生的”、“外来的”等义。英语中有好些借用词含有此一成分,诸如xenophobia(恐外症,对外国人的极度畏惧/憎恨),xenophobe(恐惧外国人或陌生人的人),xenophile(祟外者),xenomania(祟外狂,媚外)等。
