Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built: it denotes the drug hydromorphone in its hydrochloride (salt) form, so a learner who knows 'hydromorphone' (a pain medication) and 'hydrochloride' (a salt derived from hydrochloric acid) can derive the meaning. This chemical/medical naming pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so the overall sense is directly predictable from the parts.
Etymology
Hydromorphone hydrochloride mixes word parts to show what it is: hydro- means 'water', morphine is a strong pain drug named after Morpheus, the Greek god of 'sleep', and hydrochloride shows it is a salt form that helps the medicine work in the body. So the name points to a powerful painkiller used for serious pain.
