Morphology
electrolyte = lyte (opaque) = electro + lyte
The word contains the recognizable combining form electro-, but the second element is a bound classical form that is not a standalone English word, so the overall meaning is not directly recoverable for most learners.
Etymology
Electrolyte comes from electro-, the same root as in electric and originally from a Greek word for 'amber', plus -lyte which means 'to loosen' or 'break up'. So an electrolyte is a liquid that 'loosens' charged particles so they can move and carry electricity.
