Morphology
sociopathy = sociopath (transparent) = socio + path + y
Formed from the recognisable base 'sociopath' (a person) with the productive derivational element '-y' yielding the abstract noun for the condition.
Etymology
The word sociopathy comes from two parts: socio- (as in society) meaning 'people' or 'companions', and -pathy (as in empathy or sympathy) meaning 'feeling' or 'disease'. So, sociopathy points to a problem with social feeling, which matches the idea of lacking empathy and ignoring social rules.
