Morphology
dysplasia = plasia (opaque) = dys + plasia
Formed from Greek combining elements dys- ('abnormal') + -plasia ('formation'), which are specialized medical combining forms not transparent to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
The word dysplasia comes from Greek parts dys- 'bad' and -plasia 'formation'. Think of plastic, which comes from the same root and means 'shaped', so dysplasia means 'bad' or abnormal shaping or growth of cells, which is why doctors use it for unusual tissue development.
