/ɑɹzˈmɛtrɪk/ noun

Definition

The art or practice of measuring and analyzing arsenic, particularly in scientific, medical, or forensic contexts.

Etymology

Related to 'arsmetrik,' this variant emphasizes the practice or discipline itself rather than the adjective form, using Greek '-ike' (practice or art).

Kelly Says

As a discipline, arsmetrike emerged because arsenic poisoning became so common in the 1800s that chemists had to develop specific techniques—necessity drove both chemistry and forensics forward.
