Morphology

clairaudient = clair + audient

Built from non‑productive combining forms ('clair-' + '-audient') referring to a person with paranormal hearing; the components are not transparently interpretable by an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Clairaudient as a noun comes from French clair 'clear' and Latin audire 'to hear', the same root as audio or audible. That's why a clairaudient is a person who says they clearly hear messages or voices that others do not.
