Translation:

Otalgia is Greek for Latin dolor auris {"ear-ache"}.

Commentary:

Greek ὠταλγία /ōtalgía/ means "ear-ache"; it is consists of the compound form ὠτ- /ōt-/ {"ear"} + the root -αλγ- {"pain"} + noun ending -ία -ía/ > "ear pain"}.

Otalgia - ear pain - is still part of modern medical terminology.
