xenon: [19] Xenon is etymologically the ‘strange’ gas. It was named in 1898 by its discoverer, the British chemist Sir William Ramsay. He adapted the term from the neuter form of Greek xénos ‘strange’, which may be a distant relative of English guest, hospital, host, etc, and is also the source of English xenophobia ‘fear of foreigners’ [19]. => guest, hospital, host, xenophobia
xenon (n.)
gaseous element, 1898, from Greek xenon, neuter of xenos "foreign, strange" (see xeno-); coined by its co-discoverer, Scottish chemist Sir William Ramsay (1852-1916); compare krypton.
