Answer:

A Magnesia

Step-by-step explanation:

The word magnetism comes from the word Magnesia, which is the name for a region in Asia Minor, where fragments of Fe3O4 ore (magnetite) were found, which attracts other metal objects.

Magnetism is a physical phenomenon by which we describe the attractive or repulsive force between materials.

This phenomenon has been known for thousands of years.
