A chemical compound containing silver and cyanide groups, used in electroplating and specialized industrial processes.
From Latin 'argentum' (silver) + 'cyanide' (compound containing carbon and nitrogen). Developed in 19th-century electroplating industries.
Despite being highly toxic, argenticyanides revolutionized metal finishing—they made it possible to plate objects with perfect, even silver coats that would have been impossible with older methods.
