  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Ekabor  \Ek"a*bor`\  ([e^]k"[.a]*b[=o]r`),  Ekaboron  \Ek"a*bo"ron\ 
  (-b[=o]"r[o^]n),  n.  [G.,  fr  Skr.  [=e]ka  one  +  G.  bor,  boron, 
  E.  boron.]  (Chem.) 
  The  name  given  by  Mendelejeff  in  accordance  with  the  periodic 
  law,  and  by  prediction,  to  a  hypothetical  element  then 
  unknown,  but  since  discovered  and  named  {scandium};  --  so 
  called  because  it  was  a  missing  analogue  of  the  boron  group 
  See  {Scandium}.
