Morphology
physiology = physio + logy
This is a learned classical formation built from physio + -logy, but the components are not transparent enough for an average B1 learner to reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Physiology comes from Greek parts physis 'nature' and -logy 'study'. You can remember it by thinking of physical, which is about the body, so physiology is the study of the 'nature' of living bodies and how their parts work.
