Morphology
diagnosis = diagnose (transparent) = dia + gnos + sis
The noun is directly derived from the verb 'diagnose' using a standard noun-forming suffix, so the meaning is clearly predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word diagnosis comes from Greek parts dia- ('through') and gnosis ('knowledge' or 'to know'). It originally meant 'knowing through', so a diagnosis is the act of finding out what a problem really is.
