Relating to or containing boron, wolfram (tungsten), and other elements in a chemical compound or alloy.
From boro- (from boron, named after borax) + wolframic (from wolfram, an old name for tungsten). These are scientific terms combining chemical element names with the suffix -ic, meaning 'of or relating to.'
Boron and tungsten together make incredibly tough materials used in high-tech applications, and this technical term exists because scientists needed a precise way to describe exactly which elements were mixed together in their super-strong alloys.
