Morphology
hydrolysate = hydrolyse (semi-transparent) = hydrolyse + ate
Formed from the verb 'hydrolyse' + the suffix '-ate' indicating a product or result; the structure is regular but technical and may be unfamiliar to general B1 learners.
Etymology
Hydrolysate comes from the parts hydro- meaning 'water' and -lysis meaning 'breaking', like in analysis where something is broken into parts. So a hydrolysate is a substance made when water 'breaks' a compound into smaller pieces, for example when proteins are split to aid digestion.
