Morphology
creatine = creat + ine
Although analysable as a stem + the chemical suffix '-ine', the stem 'creat' is not a standalone English word and the meaning is not inferable to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
The word creatine comes from the Greek word kreas meaning 'flesh' or 'meat' plus the chemical ending -ine. So it was named for its link to muscle 'meat', which helps you remember that creatine is a substance in muscles that gives them energy.
