History
Etymology
From German Kobalt, formerly also Kobald, ‐olt, ‐old, ‐elt, ‐el, apparently the same word as Kobold (“goblin”), from Middle High German, which became also a Harz Mountains silver miners’ term for rock laced with arsenic and sulfur, so called because it degraded the ore and made the miners ill. Doublet of kobold.
