Etymology

Borrowed from English arsenic compounded with adjectival ending -ig, borrowed from Middle French arsenic, from Latin arsenicum, from Ancient Greek ἀρσενικόν (arsenikón, yellow arsenic) (influenced by ἀρσενικός (arsenikós, potent, virile)), from Semitic, from Middle Iranian *zarnīk, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃-. Related to glas (blue), glân (clean), and clorin (chlorine).
