Definition
Another Latin or scientific term for alum, a chemical compound historically used in dyeing, tanning, and medicine.
Etymology
From Latin alumen, the direct source for the English word 'alum'; used in medieval and scientific Latin texts for the chemical substance.
Kelly Says
Alum is one of the few chemicals that's been in continuous use for 4,000 years—ancient Egyptians, Romans, and medieval dyers all knew it was essential, but didn't really understand why it worked.
