Etymology
Graphite comes from the Greek graphein, which means 'to write', and it is the same root as in graphic and autograph. It was named for the dark marks it makes when used for writing, so graphite now means the soft black form of carbon found in pencils and used for other jobs like making parts move smoothly or in some nuclear reactors.
