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

'amine' transformed from the Latin word 'ammonia' and eventually became the modern English word 'amine', leading to the adjective form 'aminic'.

Initially, 'amine' referred to a specific compound, but over time it evolved to describe a broader class of compounds, and 'aminic' describes characteristics related to these compounds.
