vitriol

• n. 硫酸，[无化] 硫酸盐；尖刻的话

来自拉丁语vitrum,玻璃，镜子，铜镜，词源同vitreous,后用于指硫化铁，蓝矾，可能因为其颜色相似而得名。该物质加热后分离出硫酸，因此，引申词义尖酸的，尖刻的。

vitriol (n.)

late 14c., "sulphate of iron," from Old French vitriol (13c.), from Medieval Latin vitriolum "vitriol," noun use of neuter of vitriolus, variant of Late Latin vitreolus "of glass," from Latin vitreus "of glass, glassy," from vitrum "glass" (see vitreous). So called from its glassy appearance in certain states. Meaning "bitter or caustic feelings" first attested 1769, in reference to the corrosive properties of vitriol (when heated it produces sulfuric acid, formerly called oil of vitriol).
