Morphology

order + Fucales

The phrase is a straightforward compositional noun phrase: 'order' (a taxonomic rank) combined with the proper name 'Fucales' denotes the taxonomic order called Fucales. This follows a standard, cross-linguistic naming pattern (rank + name), so a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings can derive the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Order Fucales comes from the Latin word 'fucus' for seaweed and from the word order, meaning a group of related plants and algae. So order Fucales literally names the group of brown seaweeds like rockweed, which is why it refers to that family of algae today.
