Chemistry Full Form
(comes from the word alchemy)
Chemistry is a branch of physical science deals with the study of the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. The word chemistry comes from the word alchemy, an earlier set of practices that encompassed elements of chemistry, metallurgy, philosophy, astrology, astronomy, mysticism and medicine. The word alchemy in turn is derived from the Arabic word al-k?m?? (????????), meaning alchemy. The Arabic term is borrowed from the Greek ????? or ??????. This may have Egyptian origins. Many believe that al-k?m?? is derived from ?????, which is in turn derived from the word Chemi or Kimi, which is the ancient name of Egypt in Egyptian. Alternately, al-k?m?? may be derived from ??????, meaning “cast together”.
