Guthrie, Frederick (1884) "On eutexia," Philosophical Magazine, 5th series, 17 : 462–482. From p. 462: "The main argument of the present communication hinges upon the existence of compound bodies, whose chief characteristic is the lowness of their temperatures of fusion. This property of the bodies may be called Eutexia †, the bodies possessing it eutectic bodies or eutectics (εύ τήκειν)."
