morphophonemics
This term describes a specialized field of linguistics. It focuses on the boundary where the structure of words (morphology) meets the sound system of a language (phonology), such as when a prefix changes its final consonant to match the first consonant of the root word.
As a name of a scientific study or academic discipline, the word ends in -ics and is treated as an uncountable noun. It functions similarly to words like physics or mathematics, where the singular form is used even though the word ends in s.
