'aminated' originates from the word 'amine', which is derived from the Latin word 'ammonia', where 'ammon' referred to the Egyptian god Amun, associated with the temple where ammonia was first discovered.

'amine' changed from the French word 'amine' and eventually became the modern English word 'amine'.

Initially, it meant 'related to ammonia', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'containing an amine group'.
