A chemical reaction or process involving silver or silver compounds.
From Latin 'argentum' (silver) with the suffix '-ion' (an action or process). This technical chemistry term emerged in the 18th-19th centuries as chemical nomenclature developed.
Words ending in '-tion' that involve metals often have the metal's Latin name as their root—this follows a pattern chemists use to make scientific language more systematic and international.
