Etymology of NIKEL

The word "nikel" is likely a misspelling or variation of the word "nickel".

The word "nickel" has its origin in the German language. It is derived from the German word "kupfernickel", which means "false copper" or "devil's copper". This term was used to describe a type of copper ore that had a similar appearance to copper but did not contain any copper. Instead, it contained a silvery-white metallic element that later came to be known as nickel.

The element nickel was first discovered in mineral samples in the late 17th century. Initially, it was considered to be an impurity in copper ore, and miners believed that it was a deceptive form of copper. However, it was eventually recognized as a distinct element and named "nickel" due to its association with the "kupfernickel" ore.
