not made from anilide
Etymology
'non' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'non', where 'non' meant 'not'; 'anilide' originates from the chemical name 'aniline' (from Portuguese 'anil' ultimately from Sanskrit 'nīla' meaning 'dark blue'), with the suffix '-ide' used in chemical nomenclature; 'derived' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'derivare', where 'de-' meant 'off, away' and 'rivus' (via derivation) related to 'stream' or 'draw off'.
'aniline' came into English via Portuguese 'anil' (ultimately from Sanskrit 'nīla'), and 19th-century chemical nomenclature formed 'anilide' to denote derivatives of aniline; the compound adjective 'non-anilide-derived' developed later by combining the negative prefix 'non-' with the chemical descriptor 'anilide-derived' to indicate lack of that origin.
Initially, 'anilide' meant a derivative of 'aniline' in chemical naming; over time, the phrase 'non-anilide-derived' came to be used specifically to denote compounds that are explicitly not produced from anilide precursors, emphasizing origin rather than structure.
