How do you split otorhinolaryngology into its component word parts?

Otorhinolaryngology can be split into its component word parts like this:

* Oto- - Greek for "ear"

* Rhino- - Greek for "nose"

* Laryngo- - Greek for "larynx" (voice box)

* -logy - Greek for "study of"

So, otorhinolaryngology literally means "the study of the ear, nose, and larynx."
