Morphology
neurodegenerative = degenerative (semi-transparent) = neuro + degenerative
The medical prefix neuro- clearly signals a nervous-system relation, but the full term is specialized and not fully predictable for an average learner.
Etymology
Neurodegenerative joins neuro-, as in neuron, meaning 'nerve', and degenerative, meaning 'getting worse' or 'breaking down'. So it describes conditions that make nerve cells slowly lose their function over time.
