Did you know?
- In Persian, the word کلر is used specifically for the element, while the word for 'chlorine' in a swimming pool is often replaced by the general term for 'bleach' or 'disinfectant'.
- The term کلر is ultimately derived from the Ancient Greek word khlōrós, which means 'pale green'.
- In Persian scientific texts, the chemical element is often spelled with a 'vav' as کلور, which is a phonetic adaptation from the French 'chlore' rather than the English 'chlorine'.
