Where it comes from
From Latin allium (“garlic”) + -cin (“produced by bacteria”, modeled after -mycin, -cin).
noun allicins
- An organic compound, diallyl thiosulfinate, obtained from garlic, with a variety of medicinal and antibacterial properties. The "neck" is not soft and braidable, the cloves are big and fat, there's a round basal plate at the root, and the content of allicin (a healthful compound) is five times that of offshore garlic, Rowe boasts.
