The deoxy is because the OHs that would be there in the sugar (galactose or fructose) aren't because they have been replaced by Cl. Deoxy: De - minus Oxy - Oxygen.

And yeah, the galactose ring is missing carbon 6 in the wikipedia structure, although the molecular model version appears correct at first glance.
