Morphology
riboflavin = ribo + flavin
The components 'ribo' and 'flavin' do not transparently convey the meaning of the vitamin without specialized knowledge.
Etymology
The word riboflavin comes from ribo-, from the sugar ribose, and flavin, from a Latin word meaning 'yellow'. So riboflavin is the 'yellow' B vitamin that contains a sugar part and helps your body make energy.
