Morphology
argyrodite = argyro (opaque) = argyro + dite
The combining form 'argyro-' is specialized and not recognizable to typical learners, so they cannot infer the technical materials-science meaning.
Etymology
The word argyrodite comes from the Greek root argyros meaning 'silver' and the ending -ite meaning 'stone', and scientists used the mineral name for a family of compounds. Because many of these materials contain silver and share the same crystal shape, calling them argyrodite-type links them to the original 'silver stone'.
