There is more information about the etymology of antimony. It comes from antimoine in French, which means monk-killer or anti-monk. Most of the early chemists and scientists were monks, and many perished in view of the element’s highly toxic properties. There is also a word in Greek, antimonos, which means “against one”. This is taken to mean “not observed in metal”.
