thulium

/ˈθjuːliəm/ noun

A metallic chemical element (symbol Tm) with atomic number 69: a fairly soft, easily workable metal with a bright silvery-gray lustre.

Word Origin Thulium is named after Thule, a mythical island in the far north — the ancient Greek and Roman idea of the northernmost place in the world. The element was discovered in Scandinavia, so the name evokes the remote, icy north. Thule itself has an uncertain origin, but it's been used poetically for any distant, mysterious land. The -ium suffix marks it as a metal.
