Morphology
succulent = succul + ent
The adjective comes from a Latin stem meaning 'juice' plus the adjectival suffix '-ent'; the root 'succul-' is not a recognizable English morpheme, so learners cannot reliably derive the meaning from component parts.
Etymology
The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, which means 'juice', so calling food succulent says it is full of juice and very tasty.
