Morphology

prolotherapy = therapy (opaque) = prolo + therapy + prolo

The prefix 'prolo' is not a standard English morpheme and does not transparently convey the meaning of the treatment method.

Etymology

Prolotherapy comes from the part prolo- meaning 'to grow' or 'produce new tissue' and -therapy meaning 'treatment', so it means a 'treatment that helps new tissue grow'.
