Etymology of VEGETABLE ALKALI

The etymology of the word "vegetable alkali" can be broken down as follows:

1. Vegetable: The word "vegetable" comes from the Latin word "vegetabilis", which means "animating" or "lively". In Latin, "vegetus" means "active" or "vigorous". Over time, this word evolved to refer to plants with edible parts, and later it came to mean exclusively "plant" in general.

2. Alkali: The word "alkali" originates from the Arabic term "al-qali" or "al-kali". It refers to a substance with a high pH level, which can neutralize acids. This term was originally used to designate soda ash (sodium carbonate), which was obtained from the ashes of certain plants, such as saltworts and glassworts.
