Relating to or containing silver, or resembling silver in color or properties.
From Latin 'argentum' (silver) plus the suffix '-al' (relating to). This technical term developed in chemistry and mineralogy to describe silver-bearing substances.
The root 'argentum' gives us the chemical symbol Ag for silver on the periodic table—Latin names for elements are still used by scientists worldwide today!
