Coined in the late 19th century, combining 'protein'—derived from the Greek 'prōteios' meaning 'primary' or 'holding first place'—with the chemical suffix '-ase', which designates an enzyme. The term was developed as biochemistry emerged to specifically classify enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins.
