Etymology

The word 'chemist' originated from the Old French word 'alquemiste', which came from the Medieval Latin 'alchimista'. The term 'chemist' was initially used to refer to practitioners of alchemy in the Middle Ages, who sought to transform base metals into gold and discover the elixir of life. Over time, the focus shifted to the modern science of chemistry, and the term 'chemist' evolved to describe experts in the field.
