       | From Wikipedia:
       | 
       | > _The word "histone" dates from the late 19th century and is
       | derived from the German word "Histon", a word itself of uncertain
       | origin - perhaps from the Greek histanai or histos._
       | 
       | Does anybody have more information on how it has been coined?
