Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'calcium' names the element and 'hydrate' denotes a substance containing chemically bound water, so 'calcium hydrate' straightforwardly means a hydrated calcium compound. This noun-noun chemical naming pattern is common and cross-linguistically regular, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Calcium hydrate names a form of calcium that has combined with water. It is the white, powdery material made when lime mixes with water and is used in building and farming, so the word hydrate shows it 'contains water'.
