protozoological positive

Morphology

protozoological = protozoology (transparent) = protozoology + ical

Formed by the standard adjective derivation from the noun 'protozoology' (noun -> -ical), so the meaning is directly derived from the base discipline.

Etymology

Protozoological breaks into proto- 'first', zoo 'animal', and -logical 'relating to study', like in prototype and the familiar zoo. So protozoological means 'relating to the study of very small animals called protozoans', which helps you remember it is about tiny, often single-celled creatures.
