Etymology of ANTIALBUMIN
The word "antialbumin" combines the prefix "anti-", meaning 'against', and the word "albumin".
"Albumin" is derived from the Latin word "albumen", which means 'white of an egg'. This is because albumin was first discovered and named in egg whites.
The prefix "anti-" comes from the Greek word "anti", meaning 'opposite' or 'against'. It is commonly used to denote opposition or counteractions.
So, the etymology of "antialbumin" suggests that it refers to something that is against or works against albumin, which is a type of protein found in many biological fluids, such as blood and milk.
