Morphology
analysis = analyse (transparent) = analys + sis
Formed as the noun corresponding to 'analyse'; the literary-critical sense is a domain-specific application but the morphological relation remains straightforward.
Etymology
Analysis comes from Greek parts ana- 'up' or 'through' and lysis 'a loosening' or 'breaking'. In literature, an analysis looks closely at each part of a text, such as words, images and structure, so you can understand the whole.
