Morphology
orthopedic = orthopedics (opaque) = ortho + ped + ic
The immediate base 'orthopedics' is a specialized medical noun formed from Greek combining forms; these components ('ortho-', '-ped-') are not transparent to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Orthopedic comes from Greek parts ortho- meaning 'straight' and paed- meaning 'child', as in pediatric, because the field began with ways to 'straighten' children's bones. So today orthopedic means medical care for bones, joints and muscles to fix problems and help people move better.
