$C H_{2} = C H O H$ $CH_2=CHOH$

The IUPAC name of the compound is ethenol

$A chain of two carbon \to stem name \Rightarrow e t h$ $"A chain of two carbon" ->"stem name"=> eth$

$suffix of C = C \to ene$ $"suffix of "C=C->"ene"$

$suffix of O H \to ol$ $"suffix of "OH->"ol"$

So complete name

$eth + ene + ol \Rightarrow e t h e n o l$ $"eth"+"ene"+"ol"=>ethenol$

'e' the last letter of 'ene' is a vowel which is followed by 'ol' that also begins with another vowel 'o'.So vowel 'e' at the end of suffix "ene" is dropped in the final name.
