Morphology
neuropathic = neuropathy (semi-transparent) = neuro + path + ic
The adjective is transparently built on the medical noun 'neuropathy' plus '-ic', but the specialized combining form keeps it only partly obvious for many learners.
Etymology
The word neuropathic breaks down into neuro- meaning 'nerve' and -pathic meaning 'suffering' or 'disease'. So neuropathic describes pain or problems that come from the nerves.
