A dark red or brownish pigment or dye found in blood or related to blood components.
From Greek haima (blood) + -in (chemical compound suffix). This term was used in older chemical and biological literature to describe blood-derived pigments.
The '-in' suffix in chemistry indicates a chemical compound, which is why you see it in insulin, melanin, and keratin—understanding suffixes is like learning the periodic table's language shortcuts!
