That description totally nails.
Wed rather deal with the formula and/or structure itself tbh.
Geoscientist here. I concur. The names are punny sometimes (this example in particular), but usually non-descriptive. Exceptions for the super common things (quartz, pyrite) when used in a discussion where the chemistry is irrelevant in that specific context. Conversely, we generally don’t care about the chemistry when talking about “clays” in geophysics, so defining them chemically would become noise to the reader.
I don´t know anything about chemistry and even I know that iupac is a strength, not weakness. I also have a tendency to take memes too seriously though :)
So it’s named after a town called Cumington, which in turn is named after a man call John Cuming
