Morphology
pathology = patho + logy
Although the word is historically compositional from classical combining forms meaning 'disease' + 'study', those parts are not transparent to an average B1 learner and do not function as productive everyday English morphemes.
Etymology
Pathology comes from the Greek parts pathos meaning 'suffering' or 'disease' and -logy meaning 'study'. It shares the root with sympathy ('feeling with' someone), so pathology is the 'study of disease' and of how and why the body stops working normally.
