Morphology
arsine = arsenic (semi-transparent) = arsen + ine
The name is formed from the element name 'arsenic' plus the chemical suffix '-ine'; understanding that it denotes the specific hydride gas AsH3 requires specialized chemistry knowledge.
Etymology
The word arsine comes from arsenic and the chemical ending -ine, and it basically means 'made from arsenic and hydrogen'. That's why, since arsenic is a well-known poison, arsine is a poisonous gas.
