History:
Discoverer: L. Boisbaudran
Discovery date: 1886 Location: France
Discovery process: Discovered in 1886 (L. Boisbaudran).
After Mosander separated erbium and terbium from yttrium in 1842, many chemists used spectral analysis to identify them and determined that they were not pure oxides of an element, which encouraged chemists to continue to separate them.
Seven years after holmium was separated, Boisbaudran split it into two in 1886, retaining holmium and the other called dysprosium, with the element symbol Dy. This word comes from the Greek word dysprositos, which means "difficult to obtain".
With the discovery of dysprosium and some other rare earth elements, the other half of the third stage of the discovery of rare earth elements was completed.
