"Copperas" is a word in ENGLISH
Green vitriol, or sulphate of iron; a green crystalline
substance, of an astringent taste, used in making ink, in dyeing black,
as a tonic in medicine, etc. It is made on a large scale by the
oxidation of iron pyrites. Called also ferrous sulphate.
Every word the right one and exactly where it should be. That's basically the highest compliment I can give.
