How Specialized
Surface Forms
Morphology
endocrinology = endocrine (semi-transparent) = endo + crin + logy
The word is a regular scientific formation from the specialized base 'endocrine' plus '-logy', but the base itself is technical and not strongly transparent for general learners.
Etymology
Endocrinology comes from Greek parts endo- meaning 'within', -crine meaning 'to secrete', and -ology meaning 'study of'. So endocrinology is the study of the glands that release hormones inside the body.
