Morphology
chiropractor = chiro + pract + or
This is a neoclassical coinage built from learned combining forms, so an average B1 learner is unlikely to recover the meaning from the parts alone.
Etymology
Chiropractor comes from Greek parts cheir 'hand' and -practor 'one who does', like the pract- in practice meaning 'to do'. So a chiropractor is someone who 'works by hand' on the spine to help with back pain.
