Morphology

granulosis = granule (semi-transparent) = granul + osis

The formation 'granule' + '-osis' is a regular medical pattern meaning a condition involving granules, but the suffix '-osis' is specialized and may be unfamiliar to average learners.

Etymology

The word granulosis comes from Latin granulum 'small grain' and the Greek ending -osis 'disease'. Think of a 'granule' or tiny grain to remember that this condition makes small grain-like structures in body tissues.
