Morphology
sarcopenia = sarco + penia
The term is built from specialized medical combining forms ('sarco-' and '-penia') that are not standalone common English words, so learners cannot reliably infer the meaning from familiar vocabulary.
Etymology
Sarcopenia comes from Greek parts sarco- meaning 'flesh' and -penia meaning 'loss' or 'poverty'. That's why sarcopenia describes the loss of muscle mass and strength that can happen as people grow older.
