Laborite

Laborite is a term that has no single, widely recognized meaning. In English-language reference works, it is not listed as a formal mineral, chemical, or political designation. Consequently, usage tends to be contextual, and the spelling may indicate a misspelling or a proper noun in specific works of fiction or journalism.

In political discourse, the conventional demonym for a member or supporter of the Labour Party is Labourite; “Laborite” is a less common variant and often treated as a misspelling in formal writing.

In geology and materials science, there is no officially recognized mineral or compound named Laborite in major catalogs. When encountered in fiction, it is typically a fictional material with attributes defined by the author.

Etymology and usage notes: the term likely derives from labor or labour. For political references, prefer Labourite; for mineral references, use Labradorite or the appropriate term. Writers should cite sources when coining or using “Laborite” in nonfiction to avoid ambiguity.
