Morphology
otolaryngologic = otolaryngology (transparent) = otolaryngology + ic
Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to the medical noun 'otolaryngology', so the adjective meaning is directly derived from the base.
Etymology
Otolaryngologic is made of three parts: oto- 'ear', laryng- 'voice box', the part of your throat that makes sound, and -ologic 'study'. So, it means the medical study or treatment of the ear, nose, and throat.
