The word "Chemistry" originates from the Arabic term "al-kīmiyā".In English called Alchemy. “Kimiagari” in Persian has been a well-known practice among artisans due to the fusion of spirit. “It is a so-called industrial, scientific and practical word that brings the soul of imperfect bodies to the level of perfection, i.e. turn tin or copper into silver or gold”. (Nazem al-Taba), (Dehkhoda encyclopedia, 1931)
