Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'chemical', derived from alchemy (ultimately from the Greek 'khēmeia'), and 'makeup', originating from the verbal phrase 'make up' used since the late 16th century to signify composition or constitution. Together, the compound phrase emerged in modern scientific and technical discourse to describe the elemental and molecular constitution of substances.
