Morphology

neurodevelopmental = neurodevelopment (semi-transparent) = neuro + develop + ment + al

The adjective is formed transparently from the noun neurodevelopment by adding -al, but the term is technical and may not be fully predictable for B1 learners.

Etymology

Neurodevelopmental combines the prefix neuro- meaning 'nerve', as in the common word nerve, and developmental from develop meaning 'to grow'. So it describes the growth and early changes of the brain and nervous system.
