Morphology
This is a systematic chemical compound name: 'uranyl' (a uranium ion) combined with 'oxalate' (the oxalic-acid-derived anion) so the phrase straightforwardly denotes the salt formed from those parts. The meaning follows regular, compositional chemical naming patterns, so a learner who knows both constituents and basic salt-formation will understand it.
Etymology
Uranyl oxalate comes from two parts: uranyl, the uranium part that is often yellow, and oxalate, which comes from oxalic acid. So the name literally describes a 'yellow uranium salt', and that is why it refers to the yellow crystalline compound used in chemical analysis.
