related to anilide
Etymology
'anilide-related' originates from modern English, formed by combining 'anilide' (a chemical noun) and the adjective 'related'.
'anilide' comes from 'aniline' + the chemical suffix '-ide'; 'aniline' entered English from French 'aniline', ultimately from Portuguese/Spanish 'anil' (from Arabic 'anil'), which in turn traces to Sanskrit 'nīla' meaning 'indigo'. 'Related' comes from Latin 'relatus', past participle of 'referre' (to bring back), via Old French/Anglo-Norman.
Initially the elements meant (1) 'anilide' = a derivative of aniline and (2) 'related' = connected to; over time the compound 'anilide-related' has been used in technical contexts to mean 'having a connection with or relevance to anilide', with little semantic shift beyond compounding.
