Morphology

micropenis = penis (semi-transparent) = micro + penis

The structure is clear as 'micro' + 'penis', but the word is a specialized medical term whose precise diagnostic threshold is not recoverable from morphology alone.

Etymology

The word micropenis comes from micro- meaning 'small', as in microphone, and penis meaning 'male sexual organ', so it is the medical name for a penis that is much smaller than usual.
