Editing Tungsten (section)

===Etymology===
The name ''tungsten'' (which means {{gloss|heavy stone}} in [[Swedish language|Swedish]] and was the old Swedish name for the mineral [[scheelite]] and other minerals of similar density) is used in English, French, and many other languages as the name of the element, but  ''wolfram'' (or ''volfram'') is used in most European (especially Germanic and Slavic) languages and is derived from the mineral [[wolframite]], which is the origin of the chemical symbol '''W'''.<ref name="albert" /> The name ''wolframite'' is derived from [[German language|German]] {{lang|de|wolf rahm}} ({{gloss|wolf soot, wolf cream}}), the name given to tungsten by [[Johan Gottschalk Wallerius]] in 1747. This, in turn, derives from [[Latin]] {{lang|la|lupi spuma}}, the name [[Georg Agricola]] used for the mineral in 1546, which translates into English as {{gloss|wolf's froth}} and is a reference to the large amounts of [[tin]] consumed by the mineral during its extraction, as though the mineral devoured it like a wolf.<ref name="sweetums" /> This naming follows a tradition of colorful names miners from the [[Ore Mountains]] would give various minerals, out of a superstition that certain ones that looked as if they contained then-known valuable metals but when extracted were somehow "hexed". [[Cobalt]] (cf. [[Kobold]]), [[pitchblende]] (cf. German {{lang|de|[[wikt:blenden|blenden]]}} for {{gloss|to blind, to deceive}}) and [[nickel]] (cf. "Old Nick") derive their names from the same miners' idiom.
