vitriol

• n. 硫酸，[無化] 硫酸鹽；尖刻的話
• vt. 用硫酸處理；用尖刻的話傷害

來自拉丁語vitrum,玻璃，鏡子，銅鏡，詞源同vitreous,後用於指硫化鐵，藍礬，可能因為其顏色相似而得名。該物質加熱後分離出硫酸，因此，引申詞義尖酸的，尖刻的。

vitriol (n.)

late 14c., "sulphate of iron," from Old French vitriol (13c.), from Medieval Latin vitriolum "vitriol," noun use of neuter of vitriolus, variant of Late Latin vitreolus "of glass," from Latin vitreus "of glass, glassy," from vitrum "glass" (see vitreous). So called from its glassy appearance in certain states. Meaning "bitter or caustic feelings" first attested 1769, in reference to the corrosive properties of vitriol (when heated it produces sulfuric acid, formerly called oil of vitriol).
