Morphology

angiohemophilia = hemophilia (semi-transparent) = angio + hemophilia + angio

Formally built by adding the combining form 'angio-' to 'hemophilia', but the construction is technical and the combining form is not familiar to general learners.

Etymology

Angiohemophilia breaks into angio- 'vessel', hemo- 'blood', and -philia 'tendency to'. So, it names a condition where the blood in the body's vessels has a tendency to bleed easily.
