Morphology
amylose = amylo + ose
The form is built from the combining form 'amylo-' (starch) + the chemical suffix '-ose'; the composition is clear to those with chemical knowledge but not to an average B1 learner, so it is only semi-transparent.
Etymology
Amylose comes from the Greek amylon meaning 'starch' and the ending -ose, as in glucose, which means 'sugar'. So amylose basically names a starch made of sugar parts, which fits its modern meaning as the long chain of glucose found in plants.
