Morphology
homeopath = homeopathy (semi-transparent) = homeo + path
The term 'homeopath' is derived from 'homeopathy', which is not a straightforward derivation for learners unfamiliar with medical terminology.
Etymology
Homeopath comes from Greek parts homeo- meaning 'similar' and -path, seen in sympathy, meaning 'suffering' or 'disease'. So a homeopath is someone who treats illness with very small doses of substances thought to be 'similar' to the sickness, which explains the idea 'like cures like'.
