Morphology
hematology = hemat + logy
This is a classical learned term built from the bound form 'hemat-' and the suffix '-logy', but the parts are not transparent to an average learner.
Etymology
The word hematology comes from the Greek parts haima 'blood' and -logy 'study', just like biology is the study of life. So hematology is the medical study of blood and blood disorders.
