Morphology
arthralgia = arthr + algia
Although the term is analyzable into classical medical combining forms meaning joint and pain, an average B1 learner is unlikely to infer the meaning from these non-productive English elements.
Etymology
Arthralgia comes from Greek parts arthr- meaning 'joint' and -algia meaning 'pain'. The arthr- part is the same as in arthritis, so arthralgia simply means 'pain in the joints'.
