A combining form or prefix used in chemistry to indicate a connection to aluminum or alumina.
Shortened form of aluminum, derived from Latin alumen (alum), used as a chemical prefix starting in the early 1800s when modern chemistry was systematizing nomenclature.
The prefix 'alumin-' appears in hundreds of chemical compounds, making it one of the most productive building blocks in chemistry—chemists use it to quickly communicate that aluminum is part of the molecular structure.
