Definition of ALCHEMIST. : a person who studies or practices alchemy.
The long route to English for alchemist began with the Greek word chÄmeia, which probably came from the word chyma (âfluidâ), derived from the verb chein, meaning âto pour.â It then passed to Arabic, which added its definite article al-(âtheâ) to the Greek root.
