Morphology
citrate = citric acid (semi-transparent) = citr + ate
The connection to 'citric acid' is visible, but the specific chemical meaning 'salt or ester of that acid' relies on specialist naming conventions.
Etymology
Citrate comes from citric (from 'citrus' fruits like lemons) and the ending -ate, which often means 'salt' or 'made from an acid'. So a citrate is literally a 'salt or chemical made from citric acid', which is why you find it in food, medicine, and lab solutions.
