Morphology
exhibit = ex + hibit
Although the verb historically comprises the prefix 'ex-' + a root from Latin, the root 'hibit' is not a standalone English word and the Latinate formation is not productive for B1 learners, so the internal structure does not help infer meaning for most learners today.
Etymology
Exhibit comes from Latin parts ex- 'out' and habere 'to hold', so it originally meant 'hold out' or 'show'. That is why to exhibit something is to show it or 'hold it out' for people to see.
