Etymology
'aminobenzine' originates from 'amino' and 'benzene', where 'amino' refers to the presence of an amino group and 'benzene' refers to the aromatic hydrocarbon structure.
'aminobenzine' changed from the combination of 'amino' and 'benzene' to form the modern English word 'aminobenzine'.
Initially, it meant 'a compound containing an amino group attached to a benzene ring', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
