Meaning of wolframio by furoya





furoya

wolframio
  47

It is a transition metal of atomic number 74, also known as tungsten. There are different opinions about the origin of the name, some attribute it to the Irish chemist Peter Woulfe, but it is most likely a German voice where wolf means "wolf" and rahm is "cream, cream", and would have a superstitious origin for the mining story about a wolf-shaped demon and its corrosive slimes, although there is also a mythological one by hraban ("crow"), which together with the wolf wolf are representative animals of Odin.
