In chemistry and biology, catalysis is the acceleration (increase in rate) of a chemical reaction by means of a substance, called a catalyst, that is itself not consumed by the overall reaction. The word is derived from the Greek noun κατάλυσις, related to the verb καταλύειν, meaning to annul or to untie or to pick up.
In Chinese, the symbol for the "catalyst" is the same as for "marriage broker" - which is exactly how catalysts can be thought of: a substance that brings molecules together in a reaction without getting involved in the reaction, or marriage, and can be used repeatedly without affecting the overall reaction.
