Abstract
The term chelate was first applied by Morgan and Drew in 1920 to describe the heterocyclic rings formed from bidentate ligands bonding to a central atom. The history of the word ch_l_ is traced from its original Greek meaning through the Latin language to its anglicized form, chela. This word has a very rich history and has been cited by both Greek (Aristotle) and Latin (Cicero, Vergil) philosophers and poets.
