ALCHEMY = AL (आलू) + CHEMY (chemistry) — 'आलू वाली chemistry!' एक मशीन सोचिए जिसमें इधर आलू डालो, उधर सोना निकले। सस्ती धातु को सोना बनाने की मध्यकालीन विद्या, chemistry की पूर्वज — alchemy।

Read ALCHEMY as AL (aloo, potato) + CHEMY (chemistry): 'aloo wali chemistry'. Picture a machine where potatoes go in on one side and gold comes out of the other. The medieval forerunner of chemistry, which tried to turn ordinary metals into gold, is alchemy.

Exam note

इसे करने वाला alchemist कहलाता है। Alchemy (पुरानी जादुई विद्या) और chemistry (आधुनिक विज्ञान) को अलग रखिए।

The person who practised it is an alchemist. Keep alchemy (the old, magical art) apart from chemistry (the modern science).
