Morphology
menorrhea = meno + rrhea
The components 'meno' and 'rrhea' are not standalone English morphemes, making the word opaque to learners without specialized knowledge.
Etymology
The word menorrhea comes from Greek parts meno- 'month' and -rrhea 'flow', the same 'flow' in diarrhea. So, menorrhea means a 'monthly flow' and is the medical word for menstruation.
