A substance formed by combining separate elements; something created by a joint or composite process.
From Latin 'concreamentum,' combining 'con-' and 'creamentum' (something created, from 'creare'). This rare philosophical term emerged in medieval and scientific texts.
Medieval alchemists would describe their experiments producing a 'concrement'—not just mixing chemicals, but creating something fundamentally new where elements cease being separate entities.
