Morphology
triazine = azine (opaque) = tri + azine
The element 'tri-' (three) is clear, but '-azine' is a specialized chemical combining form unfamiliar to general learners, so the compound's meaning is not derivable by an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Triazine breaks into tri- meaning 'three' and -azine, a chemical ending that 'contains nitrogen'. So triazine names a ring with six atoms where three are nitrogen, which helps you remember that triazines are chemicals built around a 'three-nitrogen' ring.
