ETIMOLOGIA DELLA PAROLA ADAMANT
Old English: from Latin adamant-, stem of adamas, from Greek; literal meaning perhaps: unconquerable, from a-1 + daman to tame, conquer.
CHE SIGNIFICA ADAMANT IN INGLESE
inflessibile
Le parole Adamant e simili sono usate per riferirsi a qualsiasi sostanza particolarmente dure, sia composta da diamanti, qualche altra pietra preziosa, o qualche tipo di metallo. Sia l'adamant che il diamante derivano dalla parola greca αδαμαστος, che significa "inattivo". Adamantite e adamantium sono anche varianti comuni. Adamantina ha, durante la storia antica, riferito a tutto ciò che è stato fatto di un materiale molto duro. Virgilio descrive Tartaro come un cancello di schiacciamento protetto da colonne di solido adamantina. Più tardi, dal Medioevo, il termine si riferiva al diamante, in quanto era il materiale più duro allora conosciuto e rimane il più duro materiale non sintetico conosciuto. Fu anche nel Medioevo che la durezza adamantina e le proprietà magnetiche del lodestone si confondevano e si combinavano, portando ad una definizione alternativa in cui "adamant" significa magnete, falsamente derivato dal latino adamare, il che significa amare o essere attaccato . Un'altra connessione era la convinzione che l'adamant potrebbe bloccare gli effetti di un magnete. Questo è stato affrontato ad esempio nel capitolo III di Pseudodoxia Epidemica.
