Morphology
The phrase names a phthalate (a phthalic-acid ester) derived from cyclohexanol, so its meaning is directly compositional: "cyclohexanol + phthalate" = the phthalate made from cyclohexanol. This follows regular chemical naming patterns (class-name modified by precursor) that are systematic and cross-linguistically consistent, so a learner who knows the two constituent definitions can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Cyclohexanol phthalate comes from its two parts, cyclohexanol and phthalate, showing the chemical is made by joining those two parts. Imagine two Lego blocks named 'cyclohexanol' and 'phthalate' snapped together to make a soft plastic piece — that's why the word refers to a chemical used as a 'plasticizer' to make plastics more flexible.
