Morphology
The term is compositional: 'clopidogrel' identifies the active antiplatelet drug and 'bisulfate' denotes its salt form, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to the bisulfate form of that medication used to prevent clots. This follows regular chemical naming conventions rather than idiomatic meaning, making it directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Clopidogrel bisulfate comes from joining the drug name clopidogrel with the salt name bisulfate, like a full name that tells you which form of the medicine it is. So the name refers to the medicine used 'to prevent blood clots' and lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.
