originating from aniline
Etymology
'aniline-origin' is a modern English compound formed by combining the noun 'aniline' and the noun 'origin'. 'aniline' itself entered scientific English from 19th-century French 'aniline', and 'origin' comes from Latin 'origo' meaning 'beginning'.
'aniline' developed in modern chemical nomenclature from earlier words related to 'anil' (indigo dye names in Portuguese/Spanish), while 'origin' evolved from Latin 'origo' through Old French into Middle English; the compound 'aniline-origin' is a contemporary formation used in technical contexts.
Initially 'aniline' referred to substances associated with indigo-like dyes; over time it became the established name for the specific aromatic amine (aniline). 'Origin' has long meant 'beginning' or 'source'; together the compound now specifically denotes a source relation to aniline.
