Morphology

myodynia = myo + dynia

The components 'myo' (muscle) and 'dynia' (pain) are not standalone English words and require specialized knowledge of Greek-derived medical terminology.

Etymology

Myodynia comes from Greek parts: myo- 'muscle' and -dynia 'pain', so it simply means 'pain in a muscle'.
