Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "alchemie" is die Middeleeuse voorloper van chemie, gebaseer op die veronderstelde transformasie van materie. Dit is 'n filosofiese en protowetenskaplike tradisie wat daarop gemik was om onedelmetale in edelmetale te omskep, 'n universele geneesmiddel vir siektes te ontdek en 'n manier te vind om lewe te verleng. Dit was ook geassosieer met die strewe na geestelike verligting en die transformasie van die self. In moderne gebruik word alchemie dikwels metafories gebruik om te verwys na enige skynbaar magiese transformasie of proses van transmutasie.
