Morphology
xylitol = xylose (opaque) = xyl + itol
Although the elements are meaningful in scientific nomenclature ('xyl-' = wood, '-itol' = sugar alcohol), this technical chemical formation is not transparent to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
The word xylitol starts with xyl-, which means 'wood' as in xylophone, because it was first made from birch wood, and the ending -itol marks it as a sugar alcohol, a kind of sweet substitute for sugar. So, xylitol is a sweet substance originally from wood and is now used as a sugar substitute that can help protect teeth.
