Common name: List the alkyl groups bonded to Oxygen in alphabetical order and adding the word ‘ether’.
Cyclic ether: The presence of Oxygen atom in a saturated ring is indicated by the prefix ox-, and ring sizes from three to six are indicated by the endings –irane, etane, olane, and –ane, respectively.
Numbering of the atoms of the ring begins with the oxygen atom. These compounds and others in which there is a heteroatom (non-carbon atom) in the ring are called heterocycles.

Explanation of Solution
IUPAC name: 2-(1-Methylethoxy)propane
Ethers are named by selecting the longest carbon chain as the parent alkane and naming the –OR group bonded to it an alkoxy group.
Using the above principle, the longest carbon chain is propane (contains three carbons) as the parent alkane; naming the –OR group as alkoxy that is ‘2-(1-methylethoxy).
Therefore, the structure obtained is,
