Automolite

/ˌɔːtəˈmoʊlaɪt/ noun

Definition

A type of mineral or rock formation; or a person interested in automobile-related geology or mineralogy.

Etymology

From 'auto-' (self) and 'molite,' possibly derived from Greek 'melos' (stone). This is an extremely rare or specialized scientific term.

Kelly Says

Automolite is so obscure that even geology experts rarely use it—it represents how scientific terminology can create words for highly specific phenomena that most people never need to discuss.
