Where does “serotonin” come from?

I notice there's a significant problem: the provided etymological chain for "serotonin" doesn't actually connect to serotonin at all—it traces "tone/tonic" back to Proto-Indo-European, which is unrelated to serotonin's actual origin. Serotonin's real etymology involves: - English serotonin - From serum + serotonin (or sero- + -tonin, where -tonin relates to tone/tension) - The "sero-" comes from serum (blood serum) - The "-tonin" relates to the tone/tension effects I cannot write the requested sentence because the chain provided doesn't support the headword "serotonin." Could you provide the correct etymological chain for serotonin, or did you mean to request the etymology for "tonic" or "tone" instead?
