theorycel + method
The compound contains the clearly interpretable element 'method' and the visible root 'theory', so a learner could infer a meaning like 'a method based on theory' — however 'theorycel' is not a standard word and the suffix '-cel' is opaque, so the specific connotation of lacking practical application is not fully derivable. Because part of the meaning (theoretical basis) is recoverable but important nuance is unpredictable from the form, it is best classified as semi-transparent.
Etymology
Theorycel method may come from the image of someone who writes neat ideas on paper but never tries them out: the theory stays on the page and the method never leaves the desk. That's why the term means a way of working that is mostly 'theory' and gives little 'real' result.
