A chemical compound formed by replacing hydrogen atoms in ammonia with acidic or acyl groups, creating amide-like structures.
From 'amide' + '-id' (chemical suffix), used in older chemical nomenclature systems that are now largely replaced by IUPAC naming conventions.
Amidid is a somewhat archaic chemistry term that shows how nomenclature evolves—modern chemists rarely use this word, having replaced it with more systematic names, but it reveals how chemists once grouped similar compounds by their structure.
