Morphology
myalgia = my + algia
Formed from medical combining forms 'my-' (muscle) and '-algia' (pain) which are not productive standalone English morphemes, so learners cannot reliably derive 'muscle pain' from the parts.
Etymology
Myalgia comes from Greek parts my- meaning 'muscle' and -algia meaning 'pain', so it literally means 'muscle pain'.
