Confusing... Anyway, that's probably significant only in the academic sense,
therefore I'll immediately stop thinking on anything related to the
etymology and pronounciation of Argyrotype. It's much more fun to do the
actual process! :)

Loris.

Loris, 

Mike's words:

"...the word "argyrotype" was NOT "created" by me, but by Sir John Herschel
ca. 1840, and I annexed it for my process, since it had fallen into total
disuse. This is acknowledged in my original publication on the process in
B.J.P."
