单词 chemism
释义

chemismn.

Brit. /ˈkɛmɪz(ə)m/, U.S. /ˈkɛmɪz(ə)m/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; probably modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: chemical adj., -ism suffix.
Etymology: < chem- (in chemical adj.) + -ism suffix, probably after German Chemismus (1805 or earlier; a1816 in Hegel: see note at definition). Compare French chimisme (1811).
In early use: †a chemical energy or process thought to be responsible for the formation of new compounds (obsolete). Later: chemical action, behaviour, or activity.Frequently in the context of Hegel's theory of objectivity, which considers chemical processes as characterized by the alteration of the nature of the active objects, e.g. in an acid and a base reacting to produce a salt. Hegel thus presents chemical processes as a developmental stage between mechanical processes and the purposive activity characteristic of biological organisms.
ΘΚΠ
the world > matter > chemistry > chemical reactions or processes > [noun] > chemical reactions (general) > chemical action, operation, activity, or force
