Morphology
hydrochloride = chloride (opaque) = hydro + chlor + ide
This is a specialized chemical term whose meaning is not recoverable for an average B1 learner from the visible parts alone.
Etymology
Hydrochloride comes from the parts hydro- meaning 'water' and chloride (from the element chlorine), so it names a drug form made with hydrochloric acid to help the medicine dissolve in water and be absorbed.
