Morphology
gastritis = gastric (semi-transparent) = gastr + itis
The combining form 'gastr-' refers to the stomach and the medical suffix '-itis' indicates inflammation, a pattern familiar in medical terms but somewhat specialized for general learners.
Etymology
Gastritis comes from the Greek root gaster meaning 'stomach' and the medical ending -itis meaning 'inflammation'. You see the same -itis in arthritis, so gastritis is 'inflammation of the stomach', which explains the pain and nausea people feel.
