Morphology
hadron = hadr + on
The element 'hadr' is a non-standalone combining form and '-on' is a scientific noun-forming suffix, so an average B1 learner cannot derive the meaning of 'hadron' from these parts.
Etymology
Hadron comes from the Greek hadros, meaning 'thick' or 'heavy', plus the common particle ending -on, as in proton and electron. So a hadron is named a 'heavy' particle, and it refers to particles like protons and neutrons that are made of small parts called quarks and held together by the strong force.
