  1. the word curry came from curcumin. The word "Curcumin" in the West today denotes, by all accounts, an extract of turmeric, and also thus a constituent of turmeric. It is a yellow-orange oil, just the tiniest drop of which will color things very brilliantly. Today, scientists are researching the pure compound scientifically called "Curcumin" at breathtaking speed. The news is just starting to leak out in America about the profound effects of turmeric on human health (preventing Alzheimers, dropping hiv readings to the bottom of the scale, inhibiting cancer in all its stages --- all found in Cumulated Index Medicus from the National Library of Medicine in America). But the term "turmeric" is rather inelegant. Much better to use the unknown (to Westerners) term "curcumin", for which new claims can be made without sounding like we missed something very elemental centuries ago (which obviously we did, just like we missed for centuries the fact that simple limes prevent scurvy --- but one has to learn sometime).  


  2. No, it does not completely dissolve as it is not water soluble.  Instead, it forms a suspension.  When mixed up it looks like it is dissolved, but if you were to centrifuge it you would pull every bit out of suspension.
