Abscissin

/æbˈsɪsɪn/ noun

A rare or obsolete chemical or biological compound name, possibly related to abscission or cutting processes in organisms.

Likely derived from 'abscission' with the chemical suffix '-in' (used for proteins, enzymes, and compounds). This appears to be technical or scientific terminology that's largely fallen out of modern use.
