aniline
aniline (n.) chemical base used in making colorful dyes, 1843, coined 1841 by German chemist Carl Julius Fritzsche (1808-1871) and adopted by Hofmann, ultimately from Port. anil "the indigo shrub," from Arabic an-nil "the indigo," assimilated from al-nil, from Pers. nila, ultimately from Skt. nili "indigo," from nilah "dark blue." With chemical suffix -INE (Cf. -ine) (2).
