Etymology

The word 'chemically' is derived from the noun 'chemistry', which comes from the Old French 'chimie' and Latin 'chymia'. The term 'chemistry' originally referred to the study of alchemy, which aimed to transform base metals into gold and discover the elixir of life. Over time, chemistry evolved into the scientific study of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter. The adverb 'chemically' emerged to describe actions, processes, or properties related to chemicals or chemistry.
