Morphology
hydromorphone = morphine (opaque) = hydro + morph + one
The word is built on a specialized chemical-stem base, but an average learner would not be able to infer the medication meaning from its parts.
Etymology
The word hydromorphone comes from hydro- meaning 'water' or 'hydrogen' and morph- from morphine, the strong pain drug, because it is a changed form of morphine with extra hydrogen. That's why hydromorphone is used as a powerful medicine for severe pain.
