Morphology
otolaryngologist = otolaryngology (opaque) = oto + laryngo + log + ist
The word is formed from the technical field name 'otolaryngology' plus '-ist', but the base and affixes are highly specialized and not easily inferable for an average learner.
Etymology
The word otolaryngologist breaks into oto- 'ear', laryng- which is the same as larynx 'voice box', and -ologist 'specialist who studies', as in biologist. So an otolaryngologist is a doctor who studies and treats problems of the ear, nose and throat.
