Morphology

Eubacteriales = Eubacteria (opaque) = eu + bacteri + ales

The suffix '-ales' is a specialized taxonomic ending and 'eu-' and 'bacteri-' are Greek combining forms; knowing 'bacteria' does not let an average learner infer the taxonomic rank 'order'.

Etymology

Eubacteriales starts with eu- meaning 'true' and has bacter from bacterium, the common word for a tiny living cell, and the ending -ales marks a biological 'order'. So Eubacteriales is the scientific name for a large group, or 'order', of 'true' bacteria.
