What magma means
Hot, molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface that can flow upward through cracks and eventually erupt from volcanoes.
Where the word comes from
From Latin *magma*, meaning "thick unguent" or "paste," borrowed from Greek *magma* (μάγμα), derived from *massein* (μάσσειν), "to knead" or "to mix." The geological sense—molten rock beneath Earth's surface—developed in the 19th century as scientists adopted the classical term for its resemblance to a thick, kneaded substance.
