Morphology
myocarditis = myocardium (semi-transparent) = myocardium + itis
The formation 'myocardium' + the medical suffix '-itis' straightforwardly denotes 'inflammation of the heart muscle'.
Etymology
Myocarditis breaks into three parts: myo- meaning 'muscle', card- meaning 'heart', and -itis meaning 'inflammation'. So myocarditis is 'inflammation of the heart muscle', which is why it can cause chest pain and problems with the heartbeat.
