Morphology
oxycodone = oxy + codone
A technical pharmaceutical name formed from combining/chemical elements (oxy- + -codone) that are not productive everyday English morphemes, so learners cannot reliably derive the meaning from the parts.
Etymology
Oxycodone starts with oxy-, from 'oxygen' to show an extra oxygen, and ends with -codone, from 'codeine', a pain medicine from opium. So, oxycodone is a stronger, oxygen-modified relative of codeine, which is why it is a powerful, doctor-prescribed pain medicine used to relieve moderate to severe pain.
