Can anyone suggest a translation of pharmacist or apothecary in Sindarin and Quenya.

Aldaleon #4181

This is a great question! There aren't any known attested words for either as far as I'm aware.

I'd probably suggest salab + -on > *salabon "herbalist" to suggest at the cultural equivalent among elves and the men of Gondor who relied on herbs, in particular athelas, for healing.

Thank you very much. Herbalist would work very well given the likely use of herbs for healing.

Would medicine maker work?

I think I used nestor for healer some time ago. I really like Aldaleon's herbalist though. But there is no word for "medicine" only athra- to treat medically AFAIK.
