Usage Note
Chimiste refers to a professional chemist or researcher in chemistry, not a pharmacy. For a pharmacy, French uses pharmacien/pharmacienne. The word is gender-variable — une chimiste for a woman — but the form does not change in spelling.
Examples
"La chimiste analyse les échantillons au laboratoire."
Natural Translation
The chemist analyses the samples in the laboratory.
