Morphology
sclerosis = scler + osis
Although analyzable into the combining form 'scler-' (hard) + '-osis' (condition), these Greek combining forms are not productive or familiar to an average B1 learner, so the meaning 'hardening' is not reliably derivable.
Etymology
The word sclerosis comes from the Greek root skleros, which means 'hard'. It describes when body tissue becomes hard or thick, so that's why sclerosis means a 'hardening' of tissue.
