Noun [English]

IPA: /ˈəʊəlɪθ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈoʊəˌlɪθ/ [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-I learned some phrases-oolith.wav [UK] Forms: ooliths [plural]
Etymology: Borrowed from Late Latin oolithus; the Latin word was coined by the German doctor and mineralogist Franz Ernst Brückmann (1697–1753) as a translation of German Rogenstein (“oolite”) (Rogen (“fish roe”) + Stein (“stone”)). Oolithus is derived from Ancient Greek ᾠόν (ōión, “egg; seed”) (possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew- (“to clothe oneself, dress; to be dressed”), in the sense of a bird being clothed in feathers) + λῐ́θος (líthos, “a stone; stone as a substance”) (see further at that entry), analysable as oo- + -lith.

Oolithus is derived from Ancient Greek ᾠόν (ōión, “egg; seed”) (possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew- (“to clothe oneself, dress; to be dressed”), in the sense of a bird being clothed in feathers) + λῐ́θος (líthos, “a stone; stone as a substance”) (see further at that entry), analysable as oo- + -lith.",
