Morphology

rousseauite = Rousseau (semi-transparent) = rousseau + ite

While the formation from the name 'Rousseau' with '-ite' is clear, the specific mineral sense is specialized and not obvious to average learners.

Etymology

Rousseauite comes from the name Rousseau and the ending -ite, which we use for both minerals (for example graphite) and for people connected to a leader or style. So a rousseauite can mean a rare mineral or a person who follows Rousseau's ideas.
