• cererium (a name proposed (but not accepted) to indicate "cerium" does not come from the Greek word for "wax")

語源

From Ceres (“a famous asteroid”) +‎ -ium. The element was discovered and named in 1803. It was named after the asteroid, which had been discovered recently (1801) and had been named after Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture. This was during an era when asteroids were culturally exciting things that humans were just beginning to understand properly in astronomical terms, and the era also featured a fascination with neoclassical themes and thus naming things after icons of ancient Greek and Roman mythology and literature.

Now it's supplying essential minerals to manufacturers around the world”, in Bloomberg Businessweek‎, archived from the original on 18 July 2025:

     Despite their name, rare earths are not so rare. The most common, cerium, is as plentiful in the Earth's crust as copper or lead. The difference between them and more familiar materials is that, in nature, rare earths are almost never found on their own. Rather, they're mixed with other minerals, and often at low concentrations, making them difficult to mine economically.
