I find the bit about rebus' interesting:
Latin alchemists
such as Constantine of Pisa and Richardus Anglicus attempted to decipher
the word, apparently a transliteration of a still-unknown Arabic term.
Richardus interpreted ‘‘rebis’’ as an abbreviation for ‘‘res bina,’’ or ‘‘two
thing,’’ which he identified with the philosophers’ stone, and which many
subsequent alchemists understood as a hermaphrodite.21
So we still don't know where the word comes from? Someone do some research, quick!
