Morphology

Oedogoniales = Oedogonium (opaque) = Oedogoni + ales

The formation uses the specialized taxonomic suffix '-ales' attached to a genus stem, a morphological process that is unlikely to be predictable by general learners.

Etymology

Oedogoniales comes from Greek parts oedo- meaning 'swelling' and -gon meaning 'seed' or 'reproduction'. So the name points to the algae's swollen cells where they make reproductive cells, which is why it groups this kind of freshwater green algae.
