Morphology
peptide = pept + ide
The combining form 'pept-' is a bound scientific morpheme (not a standalone English word) and 'peptide' is a technical biochemical term, so learners cannot reliably derive its meaning from familiar English components.
Etymology
The word peptide comes from the Greek root pept-, from peptein, meaning 'to cook' or 'to digest'. So a peptide is like a small 'digested' piece of a protein, a short chain of amino acids formed when larger proteins are broken down.
