Morphology
stenosis = steno + osis
Formed from Greek combining elements (steno- 'narrow' + -osis 'condition'), which are not productive or recognizable to an average B1 learner, so the meaning cannot be reliably derived from familiar English words.
Etymology
The word stenosis comes from the Greek root sten- meaning 'narrow' and the ending -osis meaning 'a condition'. So stenosis is a condition of 'narrowing' in the body, which is why it can block blood or press on nerves and cause pain or numbness.
