Morphology
propane = prop + ane
Formed from chemical combining form 'prop-' and the chemical suffix '-ane'; these are technical morphemes not recognizable to an average B1 learner, so the meaning 'a three-carbon alkane gas' is not derivable from common English parts.
Etymology
Propane comes from chemistry naming: prop- shows it has 'three carbon' parts (see propyl) and -ane is the common ending in names for simple fuel gases like methane and butane. So propane is the three-carbon gas often used for heating, cooking, and grills.
