Morphology
radiology = radio + logy
The word is built from the combining form radio- and the learned suffix -logy, so the structure is visible, but the specialized medical meaning is not fully predictable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Radiology comes from radio- meaning 'ray' and -logy meaning 'study'. Think of a 'ray' as a line of light or an X-ray, and you can see the same root in radiation, so radiology is the study of rays used in medicine to look inside the body.
