===Etymology===
From {{inh|nl|dum|beril||beryl}}, from {{der|nl|la|beryllus||beryl}}, from {{der|nl|grc|βήρυλλος}}, from {{der|nl|pra}} (compare {{der|nl|sa|वैडूर्य||a cat's eye gem; a jewel}}), from {{der|nl|dra}}. Probably named after the city ''Velur'' (modern day {{m|en|Belur}}) in southern India. The first glasses, manufactured in Italy around 1300, were made of {{m|en|beryl}}. The meaning “toilet seat” is newer and derived from the similarity in shape to a single eyeglass. The word thus forms a {{doublet|nl|beril|t1=beryl|nocap=1}}.
