Morphology

order + Myxobacteriales

The phrase is fully compositional: 'order' as a taxonomic rank combined with the taxon name 'Myxobacteriales' yields the meaning 'a taxonomic order of Myxobacteriales' directly from its parts. This follows standard biological naming patterns (rank + taxon) common cross-linguistically, so a learner who knows both constituents would understand it.

Etymology

Order Myxobacteriales comes from the name of bacteria called Myxobacteria; the part myxo- means 'slime' because these bacteria move in slimy layers and come together to form little fruit-like groups. The word 'order' simply means a biological 'group', so the name tells you it is a group of slime-making bacteria.
