Etymology of BORATE

The word "borate" is derived from the chemical element "boron". Boron itself is named after the mineral "borax", from which it was first isolated. The term "borax" can be traced back to the Persian word "burah" or "borah", meaning white. This eventually entered medieval Latin as "borax" and then evolved into the English word "borate" to describe compounds containing boron.
