neurology = neuro (semi-transparent) = neuro + logy
The meaning is largely predictable from the technical combining form neuro- and the suffix -logy, but it remains specialized medical vocabulary.
Etymology
The word neurology comes from Greek parts neuro- meaning 'nerve' and -logy meaning 'study', the same ending you see in biology. So neurology is the study of the nerves and the brain, which is why it is the branch of medicine that looks at nervous system problems.
