Morphology
gastralgia = gastr + algia
This is a technical medical formation from Greek combining forms ('gastr-' + '-algia') that a typical B1 learner cannot use to derive the meaning, so the relation is opaque.
Etymology
Gastralgia comes from the Greek parts gastro- 'stomach' and -algia 'pain', so it literally means a 'stomach ache' and is used for pain in the stomach area.
