Surface Forms
Morphology
dyslexia = lexis (opaque) = dys + lexia
Although analyzable into the combining form 'dys-' + '-lexia', these are medical/Greek combining forms rather than familiar standalone English words, so a typical B1 learner cannot derive the meaning from known English bases.
Etymology
Dyslexia comes from Greek parts dys- meaning 'difficult' and -lexia from lexis meaning 'word'. So, it literally means 'difficulty with words', which fits how dyslexia makes reading and spelling hard.
