Etymological and Morphological Breakdown:

Paz- (Root): Derived from 'paz', a Gallifreyan term that signifies 'god'. In 'pazithi', 'paz' imbues the concept of the moon with a divine or celestial quality.

-ithi (Suffix): Meaning 'orbit', 'ithi' suggests the path or domain of the celestial body, emphasising its constant presence and movement around a planet.

Usage and Additional Notes:

Conceptualisation of 'Pazithi': By combining 'paz' (god) with 'ithi' (orbit), it conveys the moon's role as a celestial entity that holds significant importance, possibly of a spiritual or guiding nature.

Cultural Significance: 'Pazithi' links moons to Gallifreyan mythology/religion, seen as divine or godly orbits.

Specification of Moons: The practice of prefixing 'pazithi' with a planet's name (e.g., 'Solpazithi' for Earth's moon) specifies celestial bodies relative to their parent planets.

Modifiers: ↪ Negative: pazithi-o (not a moon) ↪ Plural: pazithi-ua (moons)
