Etymology[edit]

A proposed alchemical symbol for platinum, derived from the symbols for the planetary metals gold (☉) and iron (♂), as platinum (previously known as 'white gold') was often found mixed with iron. This symbol for the newly discovered metal platinum was created in order to have a symbol to apply to the newly discovered planet Uranus.

Symbol[edit]

  1. (astronomy, astrology) Uranus
  2. (alchemy) (archaic) platinum

Usage notes[edit]
