A chemical compound containing an amine group attached to an alkyl group; an aliphatic amine.
From alkane + amine (condensed or blended form). Likely a chemistry neologism combining the names of two functional groups: alkyl chains and amines.
Chemistry creates words by smashing together existing terms—'alkamin' mashes 'alkane' and 'amine' together. It's how scientists quickly describe new variations without inventing entirely new names!
