Morphology
endocrine = endo + crine
Built from technical Greek combining forms ('endo-' + '-crine') that are not productive or familiar to an average B1 learner, so the meaning is not transparently derivable from known English words.
Etymology
Endocrine comes from Greek parts endo- 'inside' and -crine 'to give out', and it is like the English verb secrete 'to give out'. So endocrine describes glands or systems that send hormones directly into the blood.
