Morphology

clairaudient = clair + audient

Built from non‑productive combining forms ('clair-' + '-audient') referring to paranormal hearing; the components are not freely meaningful to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Clairaudient comes from French clair meaning 'clear' and Latin audire meaning 'to hear', the same root as audio. So it suggests 'clear hearing' and is used for someone who seems to hear voices or sounds beyond normal human hearing.
