Morphology

endolaryngeal = laryngeal (semi-transparent) = endo + laryngeal

The adjective 'laryngeal' is a clear base and 'endo-' means 'within' in medical terminology, but the combining form is technical and may be unfamiliar to average B1 learners.

Etymology

Endolaryngeal breaks into endo- meaning 'inside' and laryngeal from larynx, meaning 'voice box'. So, endolaryngeal means 'inside the voice box', and is used for tests or surgery that happen within the larynx.
