'amide-bonded' is a modern compound formed from the chemical noun 'amide' and the past-participle adjective 'bonded' (from 'bond'). 'Amide' originates from 19th-century chemical coinage in French and German, specifically the word 'amide' (French) and 'Amid' (German), where the element 'am-' relates to 'ammonia' (chemical root). 'Bond' originates from Germanic roots.

'amide' came into scientific use in the 19th century from French 'amide' and German 'Amid'; 'bonded' is the past-participial/adjectival form of 'bond' (derived from Proto-Germanic/Old Norse roots such as 'band-' meaning 'binding'), and these were combined in modern scientific English to form the compound adjective 'amide-bonded'.

Initially, 'amide' referred to chemical derivatives related to ammonia and 'bond' referred generally to a tie or joining; over time, the combined form 'amide-bonded' came to specifically mean 'joined by an amide linkage' in chemical and materials contexts.
