Morphology
sulfonate = sulfonic (opaque) = sulfon + ate
The change from 'sulfonic' (acid) to 'sulfonate' (salt/ester) follows regular chemical naming patterns, but this requires specialized chemical knowledge.
Etymology
Sulfonate comes from the element sulfur and the chemical ending -ate, where -ate means a 'salt' or 'salt-like' compound. So a sulfonate is basically a 'salt' made from a sulfur-containing acid, which is why the word names those salt compounds used in chemistry and industry.
