Graham coined the term "colloid" in 1861. See: Graham, Thomas (1861) "Liquid diffusion applied to analysis", Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, 151 : 183–224. From page 183: "As gelatine appears to be its type, it is proposed to designate substances of the class as colloids, and to speak of their peculiar form of aggregation as the colloidal condition of matter."
