Morphology

order + Naiadales

This is a fully compositional NP: 'order' (a taxonomic rank) combined with the proper-name 'Naiadales' yields the straightforward meaning 'the taxonomic order called Naiadales.' The rank+name pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g. 'orden Naiadales', 'ordre Naiadales'), so a learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Order Naiadales is named after the Naiads, the water nymphs from Greek stories, because these plants grow under fresh water. So the name tells you it is a group called an 'order' of plants that live under water in lakes and rivers.
