Morphology
exosome = exo + some
Although analyzable as 'exo-' + '-some', the components are Greek combining forms unfamiliar to general learners and the biological sense is specialized, so the meaning is not recoverable from common English words.
Etymology
Exosome comes from the parts exo- meaning 'outside' and -some meaning 'body', as in ribosome. So an exosome is literally a small 'body' that goes out from a cell to carry proteins or genetic material to other cells.
