Morphology

clinicopathologic = clinic + pathologic (semi-transparent) = clinic + pathologic

The word is a straightforward compound of 'clinic' + 'pathologic' whose combined meaning is literal, but it is a technical medical term that may be unfamiliar to general B1 learners.

Etymology

The word clinicopathologic joins clinic, which originally meant the place or care at the 'bedside', and pathologic, from pathology, meaning 'study of disease'. So, it describes looking at both the doctor's observations of a patient and the disease in the body.
