[Middle English alambic, from Old French, from Medieval Latin alembicus, from Arabic al-‘anb q : al-, the + ‘anb q, still (from Greek ambix, cup).]a The word alembic comes, like much alchemical terminology, from Arabic. The early pioneer of distillation, the Persian scientist Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi (854 CE – 925 CE), used alembics widely in his work. The word is used metaphorically to describe the process of taking one material, idea or datapoint, applying reasoned analysis (the catalyst) and coming up with something entirely new ("the alembic of creative thought"). Alembic thus captures the essence of our firm in multiple ways: literally, as the company began with coverage of the chemical industry, metaphorically, in that we seek to "distill" a global array of data into actionable research points, and lastly, because of our firm's connection to both the historical tradition of, and modern industries in, the Middle East.
