It is ultimately identical with in-2 of Latin origin; but the latter in English apprehension is often unmeaning, while in-1 always conveys the distinct sense of ‘in’ or ‘into,’ as in inborn, inbred, income, inland, inlet, inmate, inside, insight, insnare, inwrap, etc. In ingot, however, the prefix is unfelt, the word being no longer recognized as a compound. In consequence of its formal and original identity with in-2, it may a ume the same phases, becoming imbefore a labial, as in impark, impen, imbitter, imbody, immesh, immingle, or varying to en-, as in encloud, enfetter, before a labial to em-, as in embed, embody, embitter, etc., the distinction being purely historical and depending on the origin, native or foreign, of the primitive. In the etymologies of this dictionary it depends on the origin of the primitive whether the prefix i-, meaning ‘in,’ is marked én-1 or in-2. in-?, [ME. in-, en-, -in ruere, fall, doctrina, teaching, L. heroin a, > F. héroine, > EK. heroine, whence its use in NL. -ina, E. -in?, -ine2, in forming the names of chem. derivatives.] 1.

In spelling usage wavers between -in and -ine. In this dictionary, in accordance with the proper pronunciation, and with the best recent usage in chemistry, the form -in is generally used in preference to -ine when both forms are in use. In chemistry a certain distinction of use is attempted, basic substances having the termination -ine rather than -in, as aconitine, aniline, etc., and -in being restricted to certain neutral compounds, glycerides, glucosides, and proteids, as albumin, palmitin, etc.; but this distinction is not observed in all cases, In names of minerals -ine is generally used. From its chemical use the suffix has come to be much used in the formation of tradenames, more or le absurd, of proprietary ‘‘remedies,” “cures,” soaps, powders, etc. -inal, [NL. Sp. Pg. It. -ina,
