Surface Forms
Morphology
halide = halogen (semi-transparent) = hal + ide
Formed with the combining form 'hal-' and the technical chemical suffix '-ide'; the morphological relation is clear to those with chemistry knowledge but not to general learners.
Etymology
The word halide comes from the old root hals meaning 'salt' and the chemical ending -ide that marks a simple type of compound. So a halide is basically a 'salt' or salt-like compound, which is why table salt (sodium chloride) is a halide.
