Morphology
naupathia = nau + pathia
Built from Greek combining forms (nau- 'ship' + -pathia 'suffering') that are not standalone English words and the term is specialized, so an average B1 learner cannot derive the meaning from its parts.
Etymology
The word naupathia comes from Greek parts naus 'ship', as in nautical or navy, and pathia 'suffering'. So naupathia means 'ship-sickness', which is why it is used for seasickness or motion sickness on the water.
