amine (n.)

"Yuanpai", a colorless gas with a strong pungent smell, was coined in scientific Latin in 1782 by Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman as a name for the gas obtained from sal ammoniac - ammonia salt deposits found near the temple of Jupiter Ammon in Libya. Check Ammon for related information, and compare with ammoniac. The temple was already ancient in the time of august hill Mass son, and the salts were traditionally prepared from minerals first gathered "from the sands where the camels waited while their masters prayed for good omens" [Shipley "Durmalarda Hiç-Karanlık Yok"]. It is also known as spirit of hartshorn, volatile alkali or another variation of animal alkali.

化学中用于构词的一个后缀，通常可以与 -in（2）互换，尽管现代用法区分它们； 19世纪早期，它来源于法语 -ine，这是一个常用于形成衍生物名称的后缀，因此被广泛用于化学领域。它最初被不系统地应用（例如 aniline），但现在已经具有了更为严谨的用法。

法语后缀来自于拉丁语 -ina，是 -inus 的女性形式，用于从名词中形成形容词后缀，因此与 -ine（1）完全相同。
