Morphology

cystoparalysis = paralysis (semi-transparent) = cysto + paralysis

The form corresponds literally to 'cysto-' (bladder) + 'paralysis' (loss of movement), but 'cysto-' is a technical combining form that may be unfamiliar to average learners.

Etymology

Cystoparalysis comes from the parts cysto- meaning 'bladder' and paralysis meaning 'loss of movement or control', like in the word paralyze. So cystoparalysis literally means the bladder cannot work.
