Relating to or containing ammonia or ammonium compounds.
From ammonia + -ic (an adjective-forming suffix). Ammonia itself comes from the Latin 'sal ammoniacus' (salt of Ammon), named after an Egyptian deity, ultimately from Greek 'ammoníakos.'
Ammonia's name references the temple of Ammon in Egypt where it was first isolated as a salt—imagine naming a chemical based on where you found it, a naming practice that shaped chemistry forever.
