The name Yingvirus derives from 嬴 (yíng), the ancestral name of Duke Mù of Qín during the Spring and Autumn period, along with -virus the suffix for a virus genus.[2] Qinviridae gets its name from 秦 (Qín), meaning Qín State, added to -viridae the suffix for a virus family.[2] Muvirales is from 穆 (Mù), again for Duke Mù of Qín, along with -virales the suffix for a virus order.[2] Chunqiuviricetes is from 春秋时代 (Chūnqiū Shídài), or Spring and Autumn period, attached to -viricetes the suffix for a virus class.[2]

gollark: Chemistry is just physics with multiple atoms.
gollark: Or the esolang. Hmm.
gollark: Organic Chemistry: The Game.
gollark: It's hardly very realistic. I'm sure chemists would be amazed by something which casually pokes around atoms like that.
gollark: ?remind 34d Figure out what I meant when I said Figure out when I said "test".
