Morphology

aminogen = amino (semi-transparent) = amino + gen

Formed from 'amino' + the combining element '-gen'; the connection to proteins is clear but the coinage is a branded/coined term and '-gen' is not a transparent everyday suffix for many learners.

Etymology

Aminogen combines amino, meaning 'amino acids', the small parts of protein, and -gen, meaning 'to make' or 'produce', the same root you see in generate. So aminogen is like a helper that 'makes' amino acids easier to get from food, which is why it is used in supplements to help digest protein.
