Etymology
The term 'nickeled' derives from the metal's name 'nickel', which comes from the German word 'Kupfernickel', meaning 'devil's copper'. Nickel was first isolated in 1751 by the Swedish chemist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt. The coating process involving nickel was developed in the late 19th century as advancements in electroplating technology unfolded. Initially used to enhance the appearance of objects, nickeling became commonplace in various industries due to its corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. Over time, 'nickel' transformed from simply denoting the metal to describing the process of applying it as a finish, ultimately leading to the term 'nickeled' for objects that have undergone this treatment.
