Morphology

Juglandales = Jugland + ales

The word 'Juglandales' is derived from Latin roots specific to botanical taxonomy and is not transparently analyzable for an average English learner.

Etymology

Juglandales comes from the scientific name Juglans, the walnut, which in Latin was called 'Jupiter's nut', plus the ending -ales, which means 'order' in plant names. So Juglandales is the 'walnut order', which explains why it groups walnuts and similar trees.
