Morphology
analyte = analyze (transparent) = analyt + e
The noun names the object of 'analyze' (something being analyzed), so learners who know 'analyze/analysis' can infer the meaning by standard noun formation.
Etymology
The word analyte comes from the verb analyze, from old Greek parts ana- 'up' and lyein 'to loosen', which together give the idea 'to break apart'. An analyte is the substance scientists 'break apart' or test in the lab, so the origin explains the modern meaning.
