Morphology
The compound name is compositionally built from 'methylene' (a radical derived from methane) + 'chloride' (a chlorine-containing compound), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes a chlorine-containing methylene chemical — i.e., a specific chemical compound. Chemical nomenclature is a systematic, cross-linguistic pattern, so the basic referent is predictable even if detailed properties (volatile solvent, uses) require specialist knowledge.
Etymology
Methylene chloride: The name methylene chloride comes from two parts: methylene, a small group with one carbon and two hydrogens, and chloride, meaning 'has chlorine'. So the name simply describes the chemical parts inside this liquid.
