Morphology
zoology = zoo- (semi-transparent) = zoo + logy
The word is built from the combining form 'zoo-' and the suffix '-logy', but these classical elements are not fully transparent to many B1 learners.
Etymology
Zoology comes from Greek parts zoo- meaning 'animal' and -logy meaning 'study', like zoo and biology. So zoology is the scientific study of animals.
