Meaning of paramagnetic
The primary meaning of the word "paramagnetic" refers to a type of magnetism where certain materials are weakly attracted to strong magnetic fields.
Etymology of paramagnetic
The word "paramagnetic" originates from the Greek prefix "para-" meaning "beside" or "alongside", and the word "magnetic", referring to the properties of magnetism
The term was first used in the late 19th century to describe the behavior of certain materials in magnetic fields
