arsen n (genitive singular arsens, no plural)
From Dutch arseen, from German Arsen, from Latin arsenicum, from Ancient Greek ἀρσενικόν (arsenikón) (influenced by ἀρσενικός (arsenikós)), from Semitic, from Middle Persian (zarnīk), from Avestan 𐬰𐬀𐬭𐬀𐬥𐬌𐬌𐬀 (zaraniia, “gold”), from 𐬰𐬀𐬭𐬌 (zari), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃i.
arsèn (uncountable)
Shortening of arsenikk, arsenic trioxide, from Ancient Greek αρσενικόν (arsenikos), "arsenic, orpiment", though it literally translates to "manly, strong", due to it being a folk etymology of Middle Persian زرنيخ (zarnikh), "gold-colored". The word orpiment is the proper word in English for arsenic trioxide, though arsenic is still used in this sense. In Norwegian, arsenikk only refers to the mineral.
