建议变更条目名称为“琥珀金”[编辑]

　　根据以下资料，electrum的词源其实源自于“琥珀”，而非“电”，翻译成“电金”只是出于英文“电”的词源亦源自于“琥珀”的巧合：

       electrum (n.) 
   
   “alloy of gold and up to 40% silver,” late 14c. (in Old English elehtre), from Latin electrum “alloy of gold and silver,” 
   also “amber” (see electric). So called probably for its pale yellow color. “A word used by Greek and Latin authors in various 
   meanings at various times” [Century Dictionary]. In Greek, usually of amber but also of pure gold. The Romans used it of 
   amber but also of the alloy. The sense of “amber” also occasionally is found in English. “At all times, and especially among 
   the Latin writers, there is more or less uncertainty in regard to the meaning of this word” [Century Dictionary].

　　以上资料出自Online Etymology Dictionary的electrum条目，该条目引自于Century Dictionary。
