Morphology
neuropathology = pathology (transparent) = neuro + patho + logy
This is a standard medical formation meaning pathology of the nervous system, so the sense follows directly from the base word.
Etymology
The word neuropathology comes from neuro- meaning 'nerve', as in neurologist, and pathology meaning 'the study of disease'. So, neuropathology is the scientific study of diseases and damage in nerve and brain tissue.
