Morphology

urodynia = uro + dynia

The term is formed from medical combining forms ('uro-' and '-dynia') that are not standalone English words and are unlikely to be interpretable by an average B1 learner.

Etymology

The word urodynia comes from two parts: uro- meaning 'urine' and -dynia meaning 'pain', from an old Greek word, like the uro- in urology. So urodynia means 'urine pain', which is why it describes pain when you urinate.
