Morphology
viscose = visc + ose
Although the form looks like 'visc' + '-ose', the modern meaning 'a silk-like fabric' is a technical name and not derivable by an average learner from 'visc' (sticky).
Etymology
Viscose comes from viscous, which means 'thick' or 'sticky', because the fabric was first made from a thick, glue-like liquid that was turned into fibres. That's why viscose now means a soft, silk-like material made from that liquid.
