Morphology

Charronia + flavigula

This is a Latin binomial (genus + species) where the species epithet 'flavigula' is not an everyday English word and is absent from the provided dictionary entry; its meaning ('yellow-throated') depends on Latin roots (flavi- = yellow, gula = throat) that a B1 learner is unlikely to know. Even if a learner recognizes 'Charronia' as a genus, taxonomic names are not compositional in ordinary English usage, so the overall meaning cannot be derived from the constituents by an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Charronia flavigula comes from Latin words; flavigula means 'yellow throat'. The animal's bright yellow throat is the picture behind the name, so the name describes the yellow-throated marten.
