chemotherapist

/kˌimoʊθˈɛɹəpˌɪst/ noun

One who administers chemotherapy.

Word Origin Chemotherapist combines chemo- from Greek khemeia 'alchemy' (originally the art of transmuting metals) and therapist from therapeuein 'to attend, cure.' So a chemotherapist is literally an 'alchemy-healer,' using chemicals to treat disease. The chemo- root also gives us chemistry, alchemy, and chemical, while therapy gives us psychotherapy, physiotherapy, and therapeutic. The word reflects the ancient link between alchemy and medicine.
