Etymology

The ability has also been known as Chemist. [view · edit · purge]A chemist is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. The Japanese term kusuri-shi is literally "drug practitioner/technician", close to the common British English use of "chemist" to mean a compounding pharmacist.

[view · edit · purge]Lore refers to a body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth.

In the French translation of Final Fantasy VIII, the ability was known as Schweitzer, named after a French philosopher who opened a famous hospital in French-colonial Africa. It can also be taken to be German for "Swiss man," likely referring to the Red Cross.
