Brit.

/ˈkɛmɪst/, U.S.

/ˈkɛməst/

Forms:

α. 1500s chymiste, 1500s–1600s chimist, 1500s–1800s chymist, 1600s chymyst.

β. 1600s– chemist.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French chimiste; Latin chymista.

Etymology: < Middle French, French chimiste, French †chymiste (1548) and its etymon post-classical Latin chimista, chymista alchemist, chemist (c1320, 1622 in British sources, 1530 in a continental source), shortened < alchimista alchemist n., apparently as a result of the first element being recognized as the Arabic definite article al- . Compare chemic n. and chemistical adj.With the variation in forms see discussion at chemic n. and adj.).

1. A person who engages in the practice or study of chemistry or (in early use) alchemy; a person who makes chemical investigations; an expert or specialist in chemistry.In early use, the terms chemist and alchemist are often indistinguishable. Later (post-c1700), alchemist began to be distinguished as referring to a person who undertakes the pursuit of goals increasingly regarded as unscientific, such as the transmutation of metals into gold, and the use of chemist to describe such a person became increasingly archaic and historical.
