biliary = bile (semi-transparent) = bili + ary
Formed from the medical combining form 'bili-' corresponding to 'bile' plus the adjective suffix '-ary'; the spelling of the combining form and the clinical register may obscure immediate recognition for some learners.
Etymology
Biliary comes from the Latin root bilis, meaning 'bile', and the ending -ary means 'relating to'. So biliary simply means 'relating to bile', for example the bile ducts or the gallbladder.
