Etymology

The word Lithonate comes from the root litho-, which means 'stone' and is the same root as in lithium, a name taken from a mineral, and the ending -ate shows it is a chemical salt. So Lithonate is a trade name for a lithium chemical used in making glass and ceramics and also as a medicine to help with mood swings.
