Definition
A hormone secreted by the ovarian follicles in females; now more commonly called estrogen or estriol.
Etymology
From 'follicule' plus the chemical suffix '-in' (indicating a substance, compound, or hormone). This term was used in early 20th-century hormone research before standardized naming conventions.
Kelly Says
Before scientists agreed on standard names, they called hormones after where they found them—'folliculin' is literally 'the hormone from the follicles.' It's like naming a medicine 'stomach-pill' until someone realizes that's not very scientific.
