/ˈæmɪdɪnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of amidin; multiple compounds of the amidin type or containing amidin-like functional groups.

Etymology

Kelly Says

When older chemistry texts discuss 'amidins' in bulk, they're referring to a whole class of related compounds that modern chemists would organize quite differently using systematic nomenclature.
