Surface Forms
Morphology
orthodox = ortho + dox
Although analyzable into Greek combining forms ('ortho-' + '-dox'), those parts are not productive standalone English words for B1 learners, so the meaning 'conforming to accepted beliefs' is not reliably inferable from the parts.
Etymology
Orthodox comes from two Greek parts: ortho- meaning 'straight' or 'correct' and doxa meaning 'opinion' or 'belief', and you can see ortho- in orthodontist ('straight' teeth). So, orthodox means 'correct belief', which is why we use it for ideas or practices that follow the traditional or generally accepted views.
