Alcohol

“The cause of (and solution to) all life’s problems” is derived from Arabic (Al-

kuhul or Al-kohl, especially those obtained by sublimation; later ‘a distilled or rectified spirit’).

However, the word ‘alcohol’ originally referred to a method of manufacturing makeup, among

other things (Mayer, 2018).
