Morphology
sociology = socio + logy
The word is compositionally built from the learned combining form socio- and the suffix -logy, but the pieces are not ordinary free words for most B1 learners.
Etymology
The word sociology comes from the parts socio- meaning 'companion' or 'being with others' and -logy meaning 'study', and you can see the same root in social. So, sociology is literally the study of people living together and how societies work.
