Etymology
Coined by Chinese architect Cai Fangyin in 1953, an ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): semantic 石 (“stone”) + semantic 仝 (“man-made”). Pronunciation is from 仝 (tóng), treated as the phonetic component of the glyph. Serendipitously, the pronunciation also resembles the word for “concrete” in some European languages; cf. French béton, German Beton, Russian бето́н (betón).
