助記提示
1. “氯”是對該詞的意譯，“氯”是一個形聲字，由形旁“氣”(表示該物質是一種氣體)和聲旁“錄”(取自“綠”字的右半部分，這個聲旁既去了“綠”音，也取了“綠”的義，表示該物質是一種綠色的氣體)，由此我們可以得出“氯”的字面含義為：一種綠色的氣體，或者說：一種呈綠色的、常溫下為氣體的化學物質；并且它的發音由此也就取“綠”的音，即與“綠”的發音相同。
2. 而這個英語單詞也同樣表示這是一種綠色的化學物質：chlor- "green, pale green" + -ine "chemical suffix".
3. chlor- (諧音“可綠兒”).
4. 克洛里斯（Chloris）是春天、花卉和自然女神。她嫁給了西風神仄費羅斯（Zephyrus）。她在羅馬神話中的名字是佛洛拉（Flora）。

英文詞源
- chlorine
- chlorine: [19] Chlorine is a greenish-yellow gas, and was named for its colour. The term was coined by the British chemist Sir Humphry Davy in 1810, from the Greek khlōrós ‘greenishyellow’. Of other words containing this element, chlorophyll [19] too was based on the notion of colour (in reference to the green colouring matter of leaves: the Greek elements literally mean ‘green leaf’), but chloroform [19], originally French, is a secondary formation based ultimately on chlorine (since it was originally regarded as a trichloride of formyl).
=> yellow - chlorine (n.)
- nonmetallic element, the name coined 1810 by English chemist Sir Humphry Davy (1778-1829) from Latinized form of Greek khloros "pale green" (see Chloe) + chemical suffix -ine (2). Named for its color. Discovered 1774, but known at first as oxymuriatic acid gas, or dephlogisticated marine acid.
