hypertrophy = trophy (opaque) = hyper + trophy
Although the word is built from the Greek combining element hyper- plus a trophy-like element, the modern English word 'trophy' means an award, so the medical sense of abnormal enlargement is not inferable for most learners.

Hypertrophy comes from the parts hyper- 'over' and -trophy 'nourishment', with hyper- like in 'hyperactive' meaning 'too much'. So it describes when cells or a body part are 'over-fed' and grow too large.
