Morphology

zooerastia = zoo + erast + ia

The prefix 'zoo-' clearly signals 'animal' and the suffix '-ia' marks a condition, but the element 'erast' (sexual love/desire) is not a familiar English morpheme for most learners, so the full sexual meaning is not fully predictable.

Etymology

The word zooerastia comes from zoo- 'animal' and a part like eros 'sexual love', seen in erotic. So it means sexual activity between a human and an animal.
