cohober

to cohobate

Usage

A now-extinct alchemical and early-chemistry term meaning to repeatedly redistill a liquid back onto its own solid residue to concentrate it — a process step, not a general verb, and essentially unused outside historical chemistry texts.

Examples
  • Les alchimistes cohobaient la substance plusieurs fois de suite.The alchemists redistilled the substance onto its residue several times in a row.
  • Ce traité du XVIIe siècle explique comment cohober un élixir.This 17th-century treatise explains how to cohobate an elixir.
  • Le verbe cohober a disparu avec la chimie moderne.The verb cohober disappeared along with the rise of modern chemistry.
Common mistake

There's no real everyday mistake to flag — this word appears only in historical or etymological discussions of alchemy, never in modern French.
