Mercury

Origin

The etymological origin is the decisive canonical vocabulary of Greek 'hydrárgyros (ὑδράργυρος hydrárgyros, water-silver, from hýdōr ὕδωρ 'water' + árgyros ἄργυρος 'silver')' — the decisive canon becoming the etymology of Latin 'hydrargyrum' — and English 'mercury' was borrowed by alchemists from the name of the Roman messenger god Mercury (Mercury, Greek Hermes). The decisive natural history canon is the decisive canon of the Roman Pliny the Elder's (Pliny the Elder, 23-79) Natural History (Naturalis Historia) Book 33 chapters 99-100 of the 1st century — 'hydrargyrum is silver that flows like water, extracted from cinnabar (cinnabar HgS), used in the amalgamation of gold'. The decisive Aristotle canon is the decisive canon of 'argyros chytós (molten silver)' in the Greek Aristotle (Aristotle, 384-322 BCE) of the 4th century BCE. The decisive Qin Shi Huang canon is the decisive canon of the Chinese Sima Qian's (Sima Qian) Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji) Book 6 of c. 210 BCE — the mercury rivers in the mausoleum (Mount Li, modern Xi'an mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang) of Qin Shi Huang (Qin Shi Huang, 259-210 BCE) — 'the hundred rivers and great seas of mercury were made to flow'. The decisive Paracelsus canon is the decisive canon of the three principles of alchemy (tria prima, mercury mercurius — spirit, sulfur sulphur — soul, salt sal — body) by the Swiss Paracelsus (Paracelsus, 1493-1541) of the 16th century — the decisive canon of mercury as the volatility of spirit.
