Morphology

fibrolipomatous = fibrolipoma (transparent) = fibro + lipoma + fibro + ous

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ous' to the noun 'fibrolipoma', producing an adjective meaning 'relating to or characterized by fibrolipoma'.

Etymology

Fibrolipomatous breaks into clear parts: fibro- means 'fiber' or tough tissue, lipo- means 'fat', and the ending -tous means 'full of'. So it names something that contains both fibrous and fatty tissue.
