An amino acid consists of a central carbon to which a carboxyl group joins on a side and to which a –R (that is, variable radical) joins on the opposite side. In perpendicular direction of such ligands an amine group joins the central carbon on one side and hydrogen joins on the opposite side.

The bind of the carboxyl group to a carbon where hydrogen is laterally joined is accountable for the name “acid” in the amino acids. The bound of an amine group in central carbon gives the name “amino”.
