To rust over: κατίωται – katioó

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

(James 5:3) KJV

Why was the Greek word for “rusting over” used for the + charged ion? The Holy Spirit left us an Easter Egg. The Sophia Proton thought experiment will reveal its significance.

To rust over: κατίωται – katioó

• to rust over
• I rust; pass: I am rusted, tarnished.

Rusting is an electrochemical process. When elements dissolve in water they form ions which have either a positive + or negative – charge. Rusting happens when metals are exposed to water and they start to dissolve. As they dissolve the atoms become charged ions, attracting Oxygen which causes the formation of oxides (rust). Positively charged ions are called cations. Negatively charged ions are called anions.

Here is the etymology of the word cation:

Cation is borrowed from Ancient Greek κατιόν (katión, “(thing) going down”), neuter past participle of κάτειμι (káteimi, “go down”), from κατά (katá, “down”) (see cata-) + εἶμι (eîmi, “go”).

– Cation, definition (Wiktionary)

It looks like the etymology in the Wiktionary definition of cation is a blind stab at something which has missed the point so badly that it isn’t aware that there was a point. The process of rusting is what happens to the cation during electrolysis. The definition doesn’t even mention rust or the Greek word that it’s a translation of.

Here’s another example of a Greek word which has been used to describe an aspect of chemistry. We found it by chance on a procedural review of Greek in preparation for a message. The significance of it is not yet known.

Iron(III) oxide is a product of the oxidation of iron. It can be prepared in the laboratory by electrolyzing a solution of sodium bicarbonate, an inert electrolyte, with an iron anode: 4 Fe + 3 O₂ + 2 H₂O → 4 FeO(OH)

This puzzle piece hasn’t dropped into place yet. At least we found it.
