A chemical compound or base formed from the combination or reaction of an aldehyde with an amine, creating a type of imine or Schiff base.
From aldehyde + -ine (suffix from German -in for basic organic compounds); coined in 19th-century chemical nomenclature to describe imine compounds derived from aldehydes and amines.
