Encyclopedia Britannica



INGOT

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 565 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INGOT , originally a mould for the casting of metals, but now a
mass
  of metal cast in a mould, and particularly the small bars of the
precious
  metals, cast in the shape of an oblong brick or wedge with slightly sloping sides, in which form gold and silver are handled as bullion at the Bank of
England
  and the
Mint
 . Ingots of varying sizes and shapes are cast of other metals, and " ingot-steel " and " ingot-
iron
  " are technical terms in the manufacture of
iron
  and steel (see IRON AND STEEL). The word is obscure in origin. It occurs in Chaucer (" The
Canon
 's Yeoman's Tale ") as a
term
  of alchemy, in the
original
  sense of a mould for casting metal, and, as the New
English
  Dictionary points out, an
English
  origin for such a
term
  is unlikely. It may, however, be derived from in and the O. Eng. geotan to pour; cf. Ger. giessen and Einguss, a mould. The Fr. lingo!, with the second English meaning only, has been taken as the origin of " ingot " and derived from the Lat. lingua, tonguewith a supposed reference to the shape. This derivation is wrong, and
French
  etymologists have now accepted the English origin for the word, lingot having coalesced from l'ingot.
