Morphology
anatomicopathologic = anatomic + pathologic (semi-transparent) = anatomic + pathologic
Formed by joining two technical adjectives (with a linking 'o'); the meaning 'relating to both anatomy and pathology' is predictable from the parts but the medical combining form and specialist domain make it less obvious to general learners.
Etymology
Anatomicopathologic joins two medical parts: anatomic (from anatomy, from a root that means 'cutting up' to study the body's parts) and pathologic (from pathology, with patho- meaning 'disease'). So anatomicopathologic describes work that studies both the body's structure and its diseases, often to help with medical diagnosis.
