Etymology

edit

From international scientific vocabulary, and clearly reflecting New Latin, from Latin bīlis (bile). By surface analysis, bili- +‎ -in, although according to American Heritage Dictionary, bilin was back-formed from phycobilin (as opposed to phycobilin being derived from bilin as surface analysis suggests).
