Morphology
herniate = hernia (transparent) = herni + ate
Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ate' to the noun 'hernia' (via the combining form 'herni-'), giving the meaning 'to cause or undergo a hernia', which is clear to learners familiar with the medical noun.
Etymology
Herniate comes from the medical word hernia, which comes from an old word meaning 'rupture' or 'bulge'. So to herniate is when part of the body 'pushes out' or breaks through the muscle or tissue that normally holds it.
