Tips
usage
Pure phonetic transliteration of Latin Mercurius. Used only when discussing Roman mythology directly - Chinese never adopted it for the planet (水星) or the element (水银).
Mercury's Greek counterpart. The Roman god lent his name to the planet 水星 (Mercury) and the element 水银 (mercury / quicksilver) - though Chinese never adopted Mòqiūlì for either, sticking with native 水 (water)-based names.
