Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'hydrated' (containing water) modifies 'aluminum oxide' (a compound of aluminum and oxygen), so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer it denotes an aluminum oxide that includes water molecules. This follows regular English modification and chemical-naming logic (consistent across languages), making the phrase predictable to a B1 learner who understands the parts.
Etymology
Hydrated aluminum oxide is a name that describes what the material is: hydrated means 'with water attached' and aluminum oxide means aluminum combined with oxygen. So the phrase points to the white, water-containing solid often found in nature and used to make paints and plastics stronger.
