Best Answer

First in 1844, from French protéine, coined in 1838 by Dutch chemist Gerhard Johan Mulder (1802-1880), perhaps on suggestion of Berzelius, from Greek proteios "the first quality," from protos "first." Originally a theoretical substance thought to be essential to life, the modern use is from German Protein, borrowed intact in English 1907.
