'aminothiophen' originates from combining 'amino' from the Latin 'amīnus' meaning 'pertaining to ammonia' and 'thiophen' from the Greek 'theion' meaning 'sulfur' and 'phaino' meaning 'to show'.
'Aminothiophen' was formed by combining the chemical terms 'amino' and 'thiophen' to describe a compound with both functional groups.
Initially, it referred to any compound with an amino and thiophen group, and this meaning has remained consistent.
