Morphology

aminobenzoic = benzoic (semi-transparent) = amino + benzoic

Formed by the combining form 'amino-' + 'benzoic'; composition is regular within chemical nomenclature but uses specialized morphemes unfamiliar to general learners.

Etymology

Aminobenzoic comes from two parts: amino ('with nitrogen', as in amino acid) and benzoic ('from benzoic acid'). So, used as an adjective it means something that is 'related to' or 'made from' a benzoic chemical that has an amino part.
