Etymology
Te comes from the element tellurium, whose name goes back to the Latin Tellus, meaning 'earth'. The same root appears in words like terrain, and because tellurium was found in the ground it was named for the earth, so Te now names this rare, silver-white element used in alloys and electronic parts.
