calcinev.

/kalˈsʌɪn//ˈkalsʌɪn/
Forms: Also Middle English calcene, Middle English calcyne.
Etymology: < medieval Latin calcināre, a term of the alchemists, ‘to burn like lime, to reduce to calx n. ’. Probably the medieval Latin word arose in Italy, where calcīna ‘lime, quick-lime’, derivative of Italian calce, Latin calcem, is cited by Du Cange in a Latin document of 1215; Florio has also calcinare to burn lime, ‘to burn minerals to correct the malignitie of them’. The accentuation ˈcalcening occurs in Chaucer; calˈcine is the pronunciation in Ben Jonson, and all the poets since; though some recent Dictionaries give ˈcalcine either as an alternative or sole pronunciation.
1.
a. To reduce to quick-lime, or to an analogous substance, by roasting or burning; ‘to burn in the fire to a calx or friable substance’ (Johnson).By the alchemists and early chemists this was supposed to be to reduce a mineral or metal to its purest or most refined residuum by driving off or consuming all the more volatile and perishable constituents; in reality it yielded in most cases a metallic oxide, though sometimes only a finely comminuted or sublimed form of a metal, or a desiccated form of other substance.
