Morphology
plyometrics = plyometric (opaque) = plyo + metric + s
The combining form 'plyo-' and the element '-metric' are not transparent to typical learners, and the term names a specific training method.
Etymology
Plyometrics comes from the parts plyo- and -metrics, and a helpful way to remember them is to think of plyo- as 'more' or 'increase' and -metrics like metric, meaning 'measure'. So plyometrics are exercises that help your muscles make more power very quickly.
