Surface Forms
Morphology
estrogen = estrus (opaque) = estro + gen
The modern word is built from technical combining forms (e.g., 'estro-' related to estrus + '-gen' meaning 'producer'), which are not transparent to average B1 learners.
Etymology
Estrogen comes from Greek parts: oistros meaning 'frenzy' or strong sexual desire and -gen meaning 'to produce', just like in generate. So estrogen is a substance that 'produces' the changes of the female body, which explains its role in female sexual development.
