Etymology
Humic comes from humus, a Latin word for 'earth' or 'soil'. Humus is the dark, broken-down plant matter in soil that feeds plants, and the same root gives us humble, which once meant 'close to the ground', so humic means 'from or like soil' and is used for substances made from soil organic matter.
