Morphology
The compound is compositionally named: 'methylene' (a chemical radical) + 'blue' (a color) clearly signals a blue chemical or dye, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it is a blue chemical substance. However, the specific biomedical uses (stain, antiseptic, antidote) and the technical sense of 'methylene' are specialized and not predictable from the parts alone, making the term only partially transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Methylene blue gets its name from the chemical part methylene and from its deep blue color; it was first made as a blue dye. That's why methylene blue is used 'to stain' cells in the lab and as a blue 'antidote' or 'medicine' in some treatments.
