Where it comes from
Learned borrowing from Late Latin albūmen (“egg white, albumen; type of eye disease”) (whence Late Middle English albuminium (“clear fluid in the eyeball between the cornea and lens, aqueous humour”)), from Latin albus (“white”, adjective) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *albʰós (“white”, adjective)) + -men (suffix forming nouns), modelled after ferrūmen (“cement; glue”). The plural form albumina is a learned borrowing from Late Latin albūmina.
