Relating to or containing two atoms of manganese in the divalent (two-positive-charge) state.
From 'di-' (two) + 'manganese' + '-ous' (oxidation state suffix). Follows chemical nomenclature conventions for describing oxidation states of metals.
The '-ous' ending tells chemists 'this manganese is in a specific mood'—it's like chemistry shorthand for what charge state the manganese is in!
