  Diamine \Di*am"ine\ (?; 104), n. [Pref. di- + amine.] (Chem.)
     A compound containing two amido groups united with one or
     more basic or positive radicals, -- as contrasted with a
     diamide.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: In chemical nomenclature, if any amine or diamine is
           named by prefixing the nitrogen group, the name of the
           latter takes the form of amido, diamido, etc., thus
           ethylene diamine, C2H4.(NH2)2, is also called
           diamido-ethylene.
           [1913 Webster]
