Cool Azure
Azure came from the Persian word Lazwardh meaning a deep blue mineral called Lapis Lazuli. Medieval Sanskrit has a word called Laajwant, also meaning Lapis. But I guess it's inherited from the Persian. Alexander the Great came to India in 326 BC after conquering Persia. At that time all the Brahmins spoke in Sanskrit, the general masses in Pali.


Now, speaking of Organic Chemistry, how did we get the word Chemistry?
