Etymology
'amide-formed' is a compound word from 'amide' and 'formed.' 'Amide' originates from 'ammonia' and the suffix '-ide,' while 'formed' is the past participle of 'form.'
'amide' was coined in the early 19th century from 'ammonia' and '-ide.' 'Formed' comes from Middle English 'formen,' from Old French 'former,' from Latin 'formare.' The compound 'amide-formed' is a modern scientific term.
Initially, 'amide-formed' specifically referred to something created by the formation of an amide bond, and this meaning has remained consistent in scientific contexts.
