Morphology
lipid = lip + id
Formed from the combining form 'lip-' (meaning fat) + the scientific suffix '-id', but 'lip-'/'lipo-' is not a standalone English word and is unfamiliar to average learners, so the meaning is not transparently derivable from known English base words.
Etymology
Lipid comes from the Greek word lipos, which means 'fat'. The same root appears as the prefix lipo- (as in liposuction), so a helpful way to remember lipid is to think of it as a 'fat-like' or oily substance that makes up cell membranes and stores energy.
