Morphology

diallyl = allyl (transparent) = di + allyl

The chemical numeric prefix 'di-' (two) added to the known chemical radical 'allyl' directly yields 'containing two allyl groups', a straightforward composition in chemical nomenclature.

Etymology

Diallyl combines di- meaning 'two' and allyl, a name chemists gave to a small group of atoms first found in garlic and mustard oils. So diallyl describes something that 'has two allyl groups' in a molecule.
