Morphology

Synchytriaceae = Synchytrium (opaque) = synchytri + aceae

The formation uses a specialized biological family suffix and a Latinized genus stem, which is not inferable to a general B1 learner.

Etymology

Synchytriaceae breaks into parts: syn- 'together', chytr- from a Greek word for a 'pot' or 'jar', and the ending -aceae meaning 'family'. So Synchytriaceae is the 'family' name for a group of small, pot-like fungi, which helps explain why it names a family of related fungi.
