How Specialized
Surface Forms
Morphology
gastroenterologist = gastroenterology (semi-transparent) = gastro + entero + log + ist
The word is built from recognizable medical combining forms plus the specialist suffix -ist, but the specialized terminology makes it less immediately transparent for typical learners.
Etymology
Gastroenterologist is built from three parts: gastro- 'stomach', enter- 'intestine', and -logist 'one who studies', the same ending as in biologist. So, a gastroenterologist is a doctor who studies and treats problems of the stomach and intestines.
