[copied from the sulfuric acid talk]
I'm re-suggesting the merging of the two articles, to a point: the information about the history and chemical composition of sulfuric acid is already covered on the sulfuric acid page. There is the point about the phrase "to hurl vitriol", but Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The vitriol page should remain, but should focus on information pertinent to the word itself, perhaps including a bit about the fake alchemy acronym, and its use in alchemy - but all the duplicated info should just be replaced with a link to sulfuric acid.

The Latin adjective meaning "glassy" would be vitreus, from the noun vitrum, whereas vitriolum is the Latin for "vitriol" (see, eg. p. 322). You're right that since vitriolum is a (neuter) noun it would translate as the diminutive of "glass", not as an adjective like "glassy". – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 02:54, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
