To introduce an amine group into a chemical compound; to convert or treat a substance with an amine group.
From 'amine' + '-ize' (verb suffix meaning 'to make or treat with'). This is standard chemical verb formation, similar to 'oxidize' or 'hydrogenate,' created in 19th-century chemistry.
Chemists use '-ize' verbs to describe chemical transformations—'aminize' means to grab a molecule and stick an amine group on it, fundamentally changing its properties and function.
