Carbon dioxide means carbon dioxide for two major reasons. One, is that carbon dioxide is made up of the element carbon, which is how it get the carbon of it's name, and is also made up of the element oxygen, which is how it got the oxide part of it's anem. The second and final reason is to explain the di part of the name.
