Morphology
malabsorption = absorption (transparent) = mal + absorb + tion
The meaning is directly compositional: 'mal-' indicates bad or defective, and 'absorption' supplies the core process, so the medical sense of poor absorption is readily inferable.
Etymology
Malabsorption breaks into mal- meaning 'bad' and absorb meaning 'to take in', so imagine a sponge that should soak up water but does not. So malabsorption is when the body cannot take in the nutrients from food.
