Antimoniureted

/ˌæn.tɪ.məˈnɪʊ.ret.ɪd/ adjective

Definition

An alternate spelling of antimoniureted; treated with or combined in the form of antimoniuret compounds (archaic).

Etymology

Variant spelling of antimoniureted using doubled -t- (antimoniurretted vs. antimoniureted). In older English chemical nomenclature, such spelling variants were common before standardization.

Kelly Says

English spelling before the 20th century was wilder than many realize—you'd see 'colour' and 'color,' 'connexion' and 'connection,' and double consonants doubled unpredictably. Old chemistry texts show this chaos beautifully.
