Morphology
cannabin = cannabis (transparent) = cannab + in
The word names a chemical/resin derived from the cannabis plant; knowing 'cannabis' allows inference that '-in' denotes a substance from that source.
Etymology
Cannabin comes from the older word cannabis, which meant 'hemp' or 'marijuana' long ago, and the same root gave us canvas, a cloth once made from hemp. So cannabin is the sticky, active resin from the hemp plant that produces the plant's drug effects.
