Morphology

atomic + number + seventy

The phrase transparently combines 'atomic' (relating to atoms) with 'number seventy', so a learner who knows the constituents can infer this labels the element whose atomic number is 70. However, mapping that label to the specific name 'ytterbium' is domain-specific factual knowledge (periodic table) rather than predictable from the words alone, so the connection is only partially transparent.

Etymology

Atomic number 70 names the chemical element whose atoms have 70 protons, so it points to 'ytterbium'. One easy memory is that 'ytterbium' is named after the Swedish village Ytterby, where miners found many minerals, so remembering Ytterby helps link the number 70 to 'ytterbium'.
