Morphology

chloroplatinate = platinate (opaque) = chloro + platin + ate

The word is built by technical chemical morphology, but an average learner is unlikely to infer the specific salt/complex meaning from the parts alone.

Etymology

The word chloroplatinate combines chloro- (a part that meant 'green' and is used in chlorine) and platinum (the metal). So a chloroplatinate is a salt where platinum is combined with chlorine.
