Morphology

order + Eubacteriales

The phrase is directly compositional: 'order' names a taxonomic rank and 'Eubacteriales' is the name of a bacterial taxon, so together they mean the taxonomic order called Eubacteriales. This follows standard, cross-linguistic biological naming conventions, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning (even if the term is technical).

Etymology

Order Eubacteriales comes from Greek parts: eu- meaning 'true', bacteri- meaning 'bacterium' or small rod, and -ales marking an 'order' or group. So the name literally says 'an order of true bacteria', which helps you remember it refers to a group of bacteria, often round or rod-shaped.
