Morphology

uraturia = urate (semi-transparent) = urate + uria

Formed by adding the medical suffix '-uria' (indicating a urine condition) to 'urate'; the structure is regular but requires medical knowledge of '-uria'.

Etymology

Uraturia is made of a part for 'uric acid' and the medical ending -uria meaning 'a condition of the urine', the same root you see in urine and urinary. So, uraturia means there is an unusual amount of uric acid in the urine.
