Etymology of NICKELIC

The word "nickelic" is derived from the element "nickel", which has its etymology originating from the German words "kupfernickel" or "kupfernickes" meaning "copper demon" or "copper sprite". The term was initially used to refer to a copper-colored ore containing nickel that resembled copper ore but did not yield any copper. The element nickel was later isolated from this ore in the 18th century. From the word "nickel", the adjective form "nickelic" was formed to describe anything related to or resembling nickel.
