"A chemist (from
Greek chēm(ķa) alchemy;
replacing chymist from Medieval
Latin alchemist)is
a graduated scientist trained
in the study of chemistry,
or an officially enrolled student in the
field. Chemists study the composition of
matter and its properties. Chemists
carefully describe the properties they study
in terms of quantities, with detail on the
level of molecules and
their component atoms.
Chemists carefully measure substance
proportions, chemical
reaction rates,
and other chemical
properties.
In Commonwealth English, pharmacists are
often called chemists."
