From Geoffrey Badley
The chemists who discovered aurophilicity were good on their gold but weak on their Greek (8 February, p 49).
If gold atoms really do like each other, in an exclusive commitment/long-term relationship kind of way, I think they ought to go for chrysophily. If the relationship is less serious and they’re just happy to be together, why not use Latin? But get the spelling right: aurofelicity.
