'aminize' 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' transformed from the Latin word 'ammonia' and eventually became the modern English word 'amine,' leading to the formation of 'aminize' as a verb.

Initially, it meant 'to introduce an amine group,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
