A chemical compound found in certain plants, related to aromatic or resinous substances.
From Latin aruma (spice, aroma) with the chemical suffix -in, indicating a constituent element or compound extracted from plant material.
Chemical names ending in -in often mark the moment scientists isolated something from nature—arumin represents that breakthrough when researchers could finally identify and name the specific molecules that gave plants their special properties.
