Explanation:
Oxygen was "discovered" by a number of scientists over a fairly brief time period. First discovery is normally credited to the Swedish scientist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1772. He called his discovery "fire-air" because it supported combustion.
Unfortunately (for him), Scheele's findings weren't published until 1777. In the interim, British clergyman and chemist Joseph Priestley, in 1774, discovered oxygen independently. He called it "dephlogisticated air." (Aren't you glad we don't call it that today?)
