Morphology
dysuria = urine (semi-transparent) = dys + uria
The element 'urine' is recognizable, but the medical combining form '-uria' and the Greek prefix 'dys-' are specialized and not fully transparent to average learners.
Etymology
The word dysuria comes from Greek parts dys- meaning 'bad' or 'difficult' and -uria meaning 'urine', as in urinary. So dysuria means 'pain or difficulty when passing urine'.
