Etymology

The term 'carbamide' comes from the combination of 'carb-' from carbon, and '-amide,' a suffix used in chemistry for compounds containing a carbonyl group attached to an amine group. The word was first introduced in the early 19th century as chemists began to isolate and understand urea, which had been known since ancient times, but not until the 1770s was it chemically identified by Hilaire Marin Rouelle. Urea was synthesized artificially by Friedrich Wรถhler in 1828, marking a significant development in organic chemistry. The synthetic production of urea led to its increased use in agriculture and various industrial applications, and its naming as 'carbamide' reflected its composition and chemical structure.
