It's a modification of "alchemy", which is a variation on Arabic al-kimiya, from Greek khemioia.
It's not certain where the Greek word came from; it could be a reference to Khemia (an ancient term for Egypt) or Greek khymatos ("that which is poured out").

Some believe that it is from Egyptian "chem" meaning black. and some believe that it has been taken by Greeks from Egyptians and then through Persians transferred to Arabs in the form of "alchemi". Later it was called in Europe as "chemistry".
