argyrol

/ˈɑɹdʒɪɹˌɑl/ name

An antiseptic compound of silver and a protein.

Word Origin Argyrol is a silver-based antiseptic, combining Greek argyros 'silver' and Latin oleum 'oil' — literally 'silver oil.' The argyros root gives us argent (silver) and Argentina (land of silver). The oleum root gives us oil, petroleum, and linoleum. So it's an oily silver solution.
