The word "alchemy" comes from the Arabian al-kimia, referring to the preparation of elixir by the Egyptians. The Arabic kimia, in turn, comes from the Coptic khem, which refers to the fertile black Nile delta soil as well as the dark mystery of the primordial First Matter (the Khem). This is also the origin of the word "chemistry."
