A protein or biochemical compound, possibly related to leather or animal tissue, though the exact definition requires specialized scientific context.
Likely derived from Latin 'corium' meaning leather or hide, with the suffix '-in' denoting a protein or chemical compound. May relate to historical leather-working chemistry.
The '-in' suffix in biochemistry marks thousands of proteins we've discovered—each one a tiny molecular worker in our bodies, and naming them reveals how scientists find patterns in living chemistry.
