Morphology
pathophysiological = physiological (semi-transparent) = patho + physiological
Formed by adding the combining form 'patho-' (disease) to 'physiological'; the composition is regular but the medical combining form and technical sense make it only partially transparent to general learners.
Etymology
The word pathophysiological combines patho- ('disease') and physio- ('how the body works'), as in pathology and physiology, plus the ending -logical ('relating to'). So, it describes the abnormal body processes that happen because of disease or injury.
