Morphology
narratology = narrative (semi-transparent) = narrat + ology
The word is built on the recognizable base 'narrative' plus the academic suffix '-ology', but the stem is shortened to 'narrat-' and the term is specialized.
Etymology
The word narratology comes from the Latin root narrate, meaning 'to tell', and the ending -ology, which means 'study of' and appears in words like biology. So, narratology is the study of how stories are told.
