Morphology
arthroscopic = arthroscopy (transparent) = arthro + scop + ic
The adjective is a straightforward derivation from the noun 'arthroscopy' (relating to the procedure or instrument) by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic'.
Etymology
The word arthroscopic comes from Greek parts arthro- meaning 'joint' and -scopic meaning 'to look', the same '-scope' you see in microscope and telescope. So arthroscopic surgery uses a small camera to look inside a joint to find and fix problems.
