It is in English from Greek roots. You will find pretty much the same word in all major European languages with slight variations. Because there are ear nose and throat doctors in many languages.

English...duh!
The etymology however comes from:
Otology - ear/hearing
Rhinology - nose
Laryngology - Voice therapy/ throat.
Oto - rhino - larynge- ologist: "Otorhinolaryngologist"
