X is for Xeranthemum
Have you heard of the xeranthemum plant? We always have to get creative at this point in the alphabet, but this time a cool theme fell right into our lap. Did you know that xeranthemum shares the same word origin as the Xerox company? Xerox is a Greek word that means “dry,” and xeranthemum got its name because it flourishes in a warm, dry garden.
The Xerox company, on the other hand, was originally named Haloid. In the 1940s, when they commercialized the modern photocopier, they were looking for a way to describe their unique approach, which used dry powder toner rather than wet ink. They hired a Greek scholar to work on this marketing project and with him, coined the term “xerography” – a newly invented phrase that translated from the Greek words for “dry writing.” Their product took off, and just over a decade later, they changed their name to the Xerox Corporation. And while “xerography” never quite caught on, we still call photocopying “xeroxing” today.
