Morphology

order + Juglandales

The phrase is fully compositional: 'order' (a taxonomic rank) combined with the proper name 'Juglandales' directly yields the meaning 'the taxonomic order called Juglandales'. This naming pattern is standard in biology and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would be able to infer the MWE's meaning (noting only that the domain is specialized vocabulary).

Etymology

Order Juglandales comes from the Latin name Juglans for the walnut and the ending -ales that plant scientists use to name an 'order' of related plants. So the name points to a group of walnut-like trees such as walnuts and hickories.
