Morphology

yohimbine = yohimbe (semi-transparent) = yohimbe + ine

Built from the plant name 'yohimbe' plus the chemical suffix '-ine'; the form–relation is clear but the specialized alkaloid meaning is technical for average learners.

Etymology

Yohimbine comes from the African tree name yohimbe, whose bark was used as medicine. The ending -ine, as in caffeine, means 'a chemical', so yohimbine is the chemical from the yohimbe tree often used to help with some sexual problems.
