Morphology

allyl + resin

The compound is compositional: 'allyl' names a specific chemical radical and 'resin' names a sticky polymer, so 'allyl resin' straightforwardly means a resin derived from allyl. Although technical, the noun-noun formation follows a transparent pattern (X resin = resin made from X), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Allyl resin comes from the small chemical part allyl, first found in oil from garlic and onions, and the word resin, which means a sticky substance that hardens. So the name helps you picture a sticky material made from the allyl chemical, which explains why it is used as a strong 'adhesive' when cured.
