Morphology
Deuteronomy = deutero + nomy
Although etymologically composed of Greek combining forms meaning 'second' + 'law', these combining forms are not productive or familiar to average learners, so the meaning is not transparently inferable from common English vocabulary.
Etymology
Deuteronomy comes from Greek parts deutero- meaning 'second' and -nomy meaning 'law', so it literally means the 'second law' and that's why the book contains a second statement of Moses's laws.
