Synonyms
A form of a chemical element with the same number of protons but more or fewer neutrons in the nucleus

Morphology
nuclide = nucleus (semi-transparent) = nucl + ide
Formally built from the stem related to 'nucleus' plus the technical suffix '-ide', but the precise technical meaning requires domain knowledge.
Etymology
The word nuclide comes from nucleus, which means 'core', and the chemical ending -ide, as in oxide, which names kinds of atoms. So a nuclide is a specific kind of atomic 'core' with a fixed number of protons and neutrons.
