Morphology

thiodiphenylamine = diphenylamine (opaque) = thio + di + phenyl + amine

The relation is a productive chemical prefixation (thio- + diphenylamine) but the meaning is specialized chemical notation (sulfur substitution) and not inferable by an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Thiodiphenylamine breaks into parts: thio- meaning 'sulfur', di- meaning 'two', phenyl meaning 'a ring of carbon', and amine meaning 'a nitrogen group like ammonia'. So, the name tells chemists it has a sulfur plus two phenyl rings and an amine, which helps explain why it is used in veterinary medicine to fight parasites inside farm animals.
