The word "fluorescence" originates from the mineral **fluorite**, which itself derives from the Latin word **"fluo"** meaning "to flow". Fluorite was discovered to emit a visible glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, a phenomenon known as **fluorescence**. This property was first described by Sir George Gabriel Stokes in 1852, who coined the term "fluorescence" to describe this phenomenon. The word quickly gained widespread use in the scientific community and has since become a standard term for the emission of light by a substance when exposed to electromagnetic radiation.
