Etymology
Lysine comes from the Greek root lysis, which means 'to loosen' or 'to break'; you can see the same root in analysis ('to break down'). Chemists named it this way because they first found lysine by breaking down proteins, so this helps you remember that lysine is an important building block of proteins.
