Definition
The science or practice of testing and assaying metals or minerals to determine their purity, composition, and value.
Etymology
From Greek 'dokimasia,' meaning 'a testing or trial,' derived from 'dokimazein' meaning 'to test.' The term was adopted into English scientific vocabulary during the Renaissance when metallurgy became crucial to commerce and alchemy.
Kelly Says
Alchemists and early chemists relied on docimasy to distinguish real gold from fool's gold, and their techniques actually laid the groundwork for modern analytical chemistry methods we use today.
