Ensulphur

/ɛnˈsʌlfər/ verb

Definition

To treat with sulphur or to infuse with sulphurous qualities.

Etymology

From 'en-' plus 'sulphur', the chemical element. Medieval alchemists and physicians used this term when applying sulphur as a treatment or incorporating it into preparations.

Kelly Says

Alchemists were obsessed with sulphur—they used 'ensulphur' to describe processes that would infuse something with sulphur's properties, believing it held mysterious transformative powers in both medicine and the quest to create gold.
