Morphology
arthritis = arthr + itis
Formed from Greek combining elements 'arthr-' (joint) + '-itis' (inflammation) which are not standalone English words, so learners cannot reliably derive the meaning from familiar English bases.
Etymology
Arthritis comes from old Greek parts arthr- meaning 'joint' and -itis meaning 'inflammation'. So arthritis means 'inflammation of a joint', which is why it causes joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
