ETHER
What ether means
A colorless, highly flammable liquid once used as a general anesthetic in surgery, or in chemistry, a class of organic compounds formed when two organic groups are linked by an oxygen atom.
Where the word comes from
From Greek aither, meaning "upper air" or "sky," from aithein ("to burn" or "to shine"). The ancient Greeks used this term for the bright, pure air that filled the heavens above the clouds. Medieval alchemists and later chemists adopted the word for a hypothetical substance thought to fill all space, and eventually for the volatile liquid compound we know today.
