Morphology

microcircuitry = circuitry (transparent) = micro + circuit + ry

The word is a straightforward prefixation of 'micro-' to 'circuitry', expressing circuitry on a very small scale.

Etymology

The word microcircuitry begins with micro- meaning 'small', as in microscope, and uses circuit meaning 'path' or 'loop' for electric current. So microcircuitry refers to the tiny paths that carry electricity and signals inside phones, computers, and other electronic devices.
