Morphology
histology = histo + logy
The word is built regularly from a combining form meaning 'tissue' and the common scholarly suffix '-logy' meaning 'study of', but the full term is specialized medical/scientific vocabulary rather than fully transparent to an average learner.
Etymology
Histology comes from Greek parts histo- meaning 'tissue' and -logy meaning 'study', the same -logy you see in biology. So, histology is the study of tissues in plants and animals, usually by looking at them under a microscope.
