Morphology

genus + beroe

The meaning is directly compositional: 'genus' denotes a taxonomic rank and 'Beroe' is the name of the organism group, so together they mean the biological genus named Beroe. This follows a standard, cross-linguistic scientific naming pattern (genus + name), making it immediately understandable to learners who know both constituents.

Etymology

Genus Beroe may come from the name of a Greek 'sea nymph' called Beroe, which gives a simple picture of a creature of the sea. That's why today genus Beroe is the name for a group of marine animals called 'comb jellies'.
