Morphology

Endomycetales = endomycete (opaque) = endo + mycet + ales

The formation uses specialized Greek combining forms and the taxonomic suffix '-ales', which are not productive or transparent to general learners.

Etymology

Endomycetales is built from endo- meaning 'inside', mycet- meaning 'fungus' (as in mycology), and the ending -ales that names an 'order' or group in biology. So, Endomycetales refers to a group of fungi that develop 'inside' a cell, which is why scientists use this name.
