Morphology
methylene = methyl (opaque) = meth + ylene
This is a specialized chemical combining form; the specific meaning 'a bivalent CH2 radical' requires chemistry knowledge and is not derivable by an average B1 learner from 'meth-' or 'methyl'.
Etymology
Methylene comes from methane, the simple gas, with the chemical ending -ylene that chemists use to mean a small 'part' of a molecule. So methylene names the CH₂ 'group' with 'two hydrogens', which is why it often acts as a link in many organic compounds.
