    How to use "Re-torts" in context?

    The word "re-tort" is derived from the Latin word "retorta", meaning "a upside-down pot or vessel from which substances are boiled". The word "re-tort" is used to refer to a procedure where a previously cooked compound is injected into a crude matter and subjected to intense heat and pressure in order to transform it into a different chemical compound.

    One of the earliest known uses of re-torts was in the early 16th century when Nicholas Vigoleius described how mercury could be transformed from a liquid form into a solid form by subjecting it to a high pressure and temperature.
