Morphology
cardiomyopathy = myopathy (semi-transparent) = cardio + myo + pathy
The word is directly built by adding cardio to the already compositional medical noun myopathy.
Etymology
Cardiomyopathy breaks into three parts: cardio- 'heart', myo- 'muscle', and -pathy 'disease'. So, cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, which is why it makes the heart weak and less able to pump blood.
