Morphology

chlorophyllose = chlorophyll (transparent) = chlorophyll + ose

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'chlorophyll' with the adjectival suffix '-ose' meaning 'having or full of', so the meaning is predictable from the base.

Etymology

Chlorophyllose comes from the parts chloro- meaning 'green' and phyll meaning 'leaf', plus the ending -ose meaning 'full of' or 'like'. So chlorophyllose describes something that 'contains chlorophyll' or is 'green like a leaf'.
