Hydrogen was already produced and described by the Swiss nature researcher Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, known as Paracelsus (1493–1541), from the reaction of metals and acid, but he did not recognize hydrogen as an individual element. The term “gas” derives from the term “chaos” used by Paracelsus for the foaming products of his experiments.
