Morphology
fumarate = fumaric (opaque) = fumar + ate
Formed from the combining form 'fumar-' plus the chemical suffix '-ate', but 'fumaric'/'fumar-' is a technical term and not a recognizable base for average learners.
Etymology
Fumarate comes from Latin fumus and is related to English fume, both meaning 'smoke', because the name fumaric for the acid comes from that smoky root. The ending -ate is a common chemical suffix meaning a 'salt' or 'ester', so fumarate is the salt or ester of fumaric acid.
