Etymology

The word histopathologically breaks into histo- ('tissue'), patho- ('disease'), and -logy ('study'), with -ally meaning 'in a way'. You can see the same parts in histology and pathology, so histopathologically means 'in a way that studies diseased tissue', for example by looking at it under a microscope.
