A compound formed by the addition of nitrogen to an organic molecule, especially one created through azotisation.
From 'azote' (nitrogen) + '-ite' (mineral or compound suffix). The '-ite' suffix comes from Greek '-ites' and is used in chemistry to denote specific compounds or minerals.
The '-ite' suffix is so common in mineralogy that scientists can instantly recognize it as a compound name, making chemistry feel like a language within a language.
