Meaning

An alembic is a glass or metal distillation apparatus with a rounded flask and a downward-curving spout, historically used to heat liquids and collect their vapors. In conversation it commonly represents chemistry, laboratory work, or scientific study, and can stand for alchemy, distillation, or brewing. It often appears in contexts about experiments, research, or a fascination with science. It can also suggest something being refined or transformed. Because it is uncommon, its meaning is often read from context rather than recognized on sight.
