Morphology
supraspinatus = spine (opaque) = supra + spinatus
A technical Latin-derived anatomical term; knowing 'spine' and the prefix 'supra-' does not make the full specialized muscle name predictable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Supraspinatus comes from the Latin parts supra 'above' and spina 'spine' or 'ridge'. The name tells you where the muscle is: it sits above the 'spine' of the shoulder blade, which is why it helps lift and stabilize the arm.
