A type of igneous rock that is composed primarily or almost entirely of augite mineral.
From augite plus the suffix '-ite' (a common mineralogical and geological suffix meaning 'a type of rock or mineral'). This names a specific rock type defined by its dominant mineral content.
Augitite is so rich in augite that it's basically augite-dominant rock—it's one of the purest expressions of a single mineral type in the igneous rock family!
