Morphology
methamphetamine = amphetamine + meth (semi-transparent) = meth + amphetamine
The word is formed by prefixing 'meth-' to 'amphetamine', so the relation to the amphetamine class is clear, but the technical sense of 'meth-' as a methyl substitution is specialized and may not be obvious to general learners.
Etymology
Methamphetamine is made of two parts: methyl ('a small chemical part') and amphetamine ('a kind of stimulant drug'). Think of it as the meth or 'methyl' version of amphetamine, so the name shows it is a very strong stimulant and explains why it can be highly addictive.
