Morphology

aminic = amine (transparent) = amin + ic

The word 'aminic' is transparently derived from 'amine' with the suffix '-ic', indicating a relation to amines.

Etymology

The word aminic comes from amine, a name made from ammonia, the strong-smelling cleaning gas, because amines are parts of molecules that are like ammonia and contain nitrogen. So, aminic means 'containing amine groups' in a chemical.
