Surface Forms
Morphology
gastropathy = gastro (opaque) = gastro + pathy
The word is formed from medical combining forms ('gastro-' + '-pathy') that are not everyday standalone words for most learners, so the meaning is not readily derived by a B1 learner.
Etymology
Gastropathy comes from Greek parts: gastro- meaning 'stomach' and -pathy meaning 'suffering' or 'disease', the same root you see in sympathy. So gastropathy literally means a 'disease of the stomach', which is why doctors use it for problems of the stomach lining.
