Surface Forms
Morphology
monosymptomatic = symptomatic (semi-transparent) = mono + symptom + atic
The word is built transparently by adding 'mono-' to 'symptomatic' to mean 'having only one symptom'.
Etymology
The word monosymptomatic is made of mono- meaning 'one' and symptom meaning 'a sign of illness'. So monosymptomatic describes someone who shows only 'one sign' of a disease or has just one symptom.
