Morphology
periodontal = peri + odont + al
The word is built from classical combining forms meaning 'around' and 'tooth', but these elements are not transparent to an average learner.
Etymology
The word periodontal comes from the parts peri- 'around' and odont 'tooth', and you can see the same idea in English words like dental and dentist. So periodontal literally means 'around the tooth', which is why it describes the gums and the parts that support the teeth.
