<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The symbol &#039;&#039;K&#039;&#039; stems from &#039;&#039;kali&#039;&#039;, itself from the root word &#039;&#039;[[alkali]]&#039;&#039;, which in turn comes from {{lang-ar|القَلْيَه}} &#039;&#039;al-qalyah&#039;&#039; &#039;plant ashes&#039;. In 1797, the German chemist [[Martin Heinrich Klaproth|Martin Klaproth]] discovered &quot;potash&quot; in the minerals [[leucite]] and [[lepidolite]], and realized that &quot;potash&quot; was not a product of plant growth but actually contained a new element, which he proposed calling &#039;&#039;kali&#039;&#039;. In 1807, Humphry Davy produced the element via electrolysis: in 1809, [[Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert]] proposed the name &#039;&#039;Kalium&#039;&#039; for Davy&#039;s &quot;potassium&quot;. In 1814, the Swedish chemist [[Jöns Jacob Berzelius|Berzelius]] advocated the name &#039;&#039;kalium&#039;&#039; for potassium, with the chemical symbol &#039;&#039;K&#039;&#039;.</div>
