Morphology
glutamate = glutamic acid (opaque) = glutam + ate
The suffix '-ate' is used to form names of salts or esters, but without knowledge of 'glutamic acid', the word is not transparent.
Etymology
Glutamate comes from gluten, a Latin word meaning 'glue', because the related glutamic acid was first found in wheat protein, and the ending -ate shows it is a chemical 'salt'. So, glutamate is the salt form of glutamic acid that is found in food and in living things.
