Morphology

anesthesiology = anesthesia (semi-transparent) = anesthesi + ology

The term is a specialist formation meaning 'study of anesthesia', but the combining form and technical suffix make it less immediately guessable for general learners.

Etymology

The word anesthesiology breaks into an- 'not', esthes- 'feeling', and -logy 'study of', as in biology. So anesthesiology is the medical study and practice about causing 'no feeling', which is why doctors use it to stop pain during surgery.
