Morphology
Chlorella = chlor + ella
Formed from the scientific combining form 'chlor-' (green) plus the diminutive '-ella'; learners familiar with scientific vocabulary may infer 'small green organism', but the taxonomic name is specialized and not fully transparent to general learners.
Etymology
Chlorella comes from the Greek root chlor- meaning 'green' and the little ending -ella meaning 'small'. So Chlorella is like 'little green', which helps you remember it is a tiny green algae often used as a food and vitamin source.
