Etymology
Monoamine comes from mono- meaning 'one', as in monotone, and amine, the chemical part you see in amino acid. So a monoamine is a small chemical with a single 'amine' group, which is why serotonin and dopamine are called monoamines since they have that one chemical part and act as brain messengers.
