Etymology: "Alchemized" is the past tense and past participle of "alchemize," a verb meaning to change something into something new, often in a transformative or almost magical way. The verb grows from "alchemy," the medieval pursuit that promised to turn base metals into gold, and the "-ize" ending, which turns a noun into a verb meaning to make or become something. So the form carries the old dream of transmutation into the modern sense of any dramatic change.
