Etymology
While the rationale for using Terralex cannot be confirmed, the word itself appears to be a compound of Latin terra ("land"/"ground"/"earth") and lex ("law"), thus loosely translated "law of the land."
The weapon's original name is titled Kongo Rakan, which translated from Japanese is Vajra Arhat. A vajra is a religious tool found in Buddhism, said to represent the truth in two ways; an irresistibly powerful force of a lightning bolt, and the invincible durability of diamond. Arhat is the native Indian title to describe those who have achieved enlightenment in Buddhism; translated directly it means "one who is worthy of receiving obeisance" or “slayer of enemies.”
Alternately, the weapon's name may be in reference to the character Sha Wujing/Sa Gojo from the Chinese Buddhist classic tale Journey to the West, one of the two reformed demon guardians who accompanied Xuanzhang and The Monkey King on their quest to India, and became known as the "Golden Bodied Arhat" upon reaching enlightenment. Sha Wujing was said to be found in a river desert of quicksand, having been banished there upon mistakenly breaking a crystal goblet owned by the western goddess Xi Wangmu and was a quiet contemplative ally, which may further highlight Nevarl's use of ninja-Buddhism inspired codenames for their weapons in the Ninja class in Trials of Mana.
