Morphology
The noun is directly built from two technical constituents: 'alkyl' (an aliphatic hydrocarbon group) and 'halide' (a compound containing a halogen). If a learner knows those constituent meanings, the combined meaning — a halogen-containing organic species derived from an alkyl group — is predictable, so the compound is morphologically transparent within the chemistry domain.
Etymology
Alkyl halide comes from two parts: alkyl, from alkane, meaning a piece made of carbon and hydrogen, and halide, meaning a part where a 'halogen' atom like chlorine takes the place of a hydrogen. So the name literally shows a carbon chain with a halogen attached, which is why it means an organic molecule with a halogen instead of a hydrogen.
