Morphology
salmonellosis = Salmonella (semi-transparent) = salmonella + osis
Formed from the bacterial name 'Salmonella' plus the medical suffix '-osis' meaning disease; the overall meaning is predictable if the learner knows 'Salmonella', but '-osis' is a technical bound morpheme that may be unfamiliar.
Etymology
Salmonellosis comes from the bacteria name Salmonella, which was named after a scientist called Salmon, and the ending -osis which means 'disease' or 'condition'. So, salmonellosis is the 'disease' caused by Salmonella, often a kind of food poisoning.
