Etymology
'aniline-related' originates from modern English, specifically the compound of 'aniline' and 'related', where 'aniline' derives from French 'aniline' (ultimately from Spanish/Portuguese 'anil' and Arabic 'al-nīl' meaning 'indigo') with the chemical suffix '-ine', and 'related' comes from Latin 'relatus' via Old French/Latin meaning 'brought back' or 'connected'.
'aniline' changed from the older word 'anil' (meaning indigo dye) into the chemical name 'aniline' in the 19th century as organic chemistry developed; 'related' developed from Latin 'relatus' into Middle English and then modern English 'related'. The hyphenated compound 'aniline-related' is a modern English formation used to specify connection to aniline.
Initially, the root 'anil' meant 'indigo' (the dye source); over time 'aniline' came to denote a specific organic base derived from such materials, and 'aniline-related' now means 'connected to or derived from aniline' in contemporary chemical usage.
