Morphology
endocrinologist = endocrinology (opaque) = endo + crin + log + ist
The word is derived from 'endocrinology' with the suffix '-ist', but the meaning is specialized and not directly inferable from the components.
Etymology
Endocrinologist breaks into endo- 'inside', crine 'to release', and -logist 'a specialist'. So an endocrinologist is a doctor who studies and treats the body's internal 'releases' called hormones, which control things like growth, energy, and blood sugar.
