Synopsis "Chemistry (Etymology)"

In the history of science, the etymology of the word chemistry is a debatable issue. It is agreed that the word alchemy is a European one, derived from Arabic, but the origin of the root word, chem, is uncertain. Words similar to it have been found in most ancient languages, with different meanings, but conceivably somehow related to alchemy. In fact, the Persians, Greeks, Chinese, and Indians usually referred to what Westerners call alchemy as The Art, or by terms denoting change or transmutation. Most historians, however, agree that the ancient Egyptians were the first chemists. French chemist Antoine Fourcroy, for example, in his 1782 Leons lmentaires d histoire naturelle et de chemie, divides the early history of chemistry into four epochs: Egypt, the Arabs, alchemy, and the pharmaceutical chemistry begun by Paracelsus. The basic roots of the word "chemistry", essentially, derive from the ancient study of how to transmute "earthen" metals into "gold" in combination with thoughts on alchemical spells as well endeavors into a quest for the Philosopher's stone.
