From amygdalin + -ate (adjective suffix meaning 'containing' or 'characterized by'). The term describes substances or seeds that contain this cyanogenic glycoside.
When fruit pits are 'amygdalate,' it means they contain enough cyanide precursor to be genuinely dangerous if you grind them up and eat them—nature's way of protecting seeds!
