Definition of ALCHEMIST. : a person who studies or practices alchemy.
An alchemist was called a 'chemist' in popular speech, and later the suffix -ry was added to this to describe the art of the chemist as chemistry. The modern word alchemy in turn is derived from the Arabic word al-kÄ«mÄ«Ä (Ø§ÙÚ©ÛÙÛØ§Ø¡). In origin, the term is borrowed from the Greek ÏÎ·Î¼Î¯Î± or ÏÎ·Î¼ÎµÎ¯Î±.
