Morphology
dysmorphia = dysmorph (opaque) = dys + morph + ia
The suffix '-ia' indicates a condition, but the specific psychological meaning is not directly inferable from the components.
Etymology
Dysmorphia comes from Greek parts dys- meaning 'bad' or 'difficult' and morph meaning 'form' or 'shape'. A helpful image is a 'bad shape' in your mind, which is why dysmorphia can mean a mental condition where someone sees their body in the wrong way.
