Etymologies:

* countermystonic comes from ''[[countercomp]]'' and ''[[mystery]]'', the two temperaments that converge in this MOS.

* comptomerc comes from ''[[compton]],'' as 12edo can also generate this MOS, albeit trivially.

* garytonic comes from [[gary]], the temperament that tempers the [[garischisma]].

* dinewtonic comes from Gene Ward Smith, who designed the gene (1\311), supporting a near-equal 311edo.

* quincetonic comes from [[cotoneum]], latin word for "quince", whose optimum is a near-equal 217edo.

* acupyth comes from ''acus'' (needle), judging by the accuracy of the fifths in this range.

* pontiacitonic comes from [[pontiac]], which generates this MOS.

* comptograckle comes from compton and [[grackle]], which can both generate this MOS.

* qiantonic comes from Qián Lèzhī, the ancient Chinese astronomer and instrument maker who discovered the 306- and 359- comma.

* picopyth comes from pico-, a SI prefix denoting 10^-12, a minute order of magnitude.

* auromean comes from the [[golden meantone]], as it supports a generator of 696.214 cents.

* meancomptonic comes from compton and [[meantone]], as the ranges are between sharper meantone and compton.

* ultimeantonic comes from the fact that the basic tuning 47\81 is the last patent val fifth that supports golden meantone.

* pessimean comes from ''pessimus (the worst)'', because meantone tunings in this range are bad.

* meridetonic comes from the méride, 1\43, as the MOS has 43 notes and 43edo provides an equal temperament.

* supytonic comes from [[Superpythagorean|superpyth]]-tonic, to give it a different name.
