amide-conjugated
|a-mide-con-ju-ga-ted|
/əˈmaɪd kənˈdʒuːɡeɪtɪd/
bound to an amide / conjugated with an amide
Etymology
'amide-conjugated' is a modern English compound formed by combining 'amide' and 'conjugated'. 'amide' originates from French, specifically the word 'amide', and 'conjugated' comes from the past participle of 'conjugate', which ultimately derives from Latin.
'amide-conjugated' is a 20th-century chemical nomenclature formation combining the noun 'amide' (from French 'amide') and the adjective 'conjugated' (from Latin 'coniugare' via Old French/Medieval Latin 'coniugatus'), becoming used in modern chemical literature to describe molecules linked to or in conjugation with an amide group.
The elements individually originally referred to the chemical group 'amide' and the action/state 'to conjugate'; combined, they evolved into a technical adjective meaning 'bound to or in conjugation with an amide', a usage specific to modern chemistry.
