Morphology
anticoagulation = coagulation (transparent) = anti + coagul + ation
The word is transparently built as 'anti-' + 'coagulation', meaning against or preventing clotting.
Etymology
Anticoagulation starts with anti- meaning 'against' and has coagulate meaning 'to clot', like when milk curdles into lumps. So anticoagulation is the process used to stop blood from making clots.
