Morphology
immunoprecipitation = precipitation (semi-transparent) = immuno + precipitation
The compound is compositionally clear (immuno- + precipitation), but the specific laboratory technique sense using antibodies is technical and not obvious to general learners.
Etymology
Immunoprecipitation starts with immuno- meaning 'related to the body's immune protection' and ends with precipitation meaning 'falling out of a liquid', like rain. So it describes a lab method where immune proteins (antibodies) make a specific protein 'fall' out of the solution so scientists can pull it out and study it.
