Morphology
apolipoprotein = lipoprotein (semi-transparent) = apo + lipo + protein
Formed by prefixing the specialized combining form 'apo-' to the technical noun 'lipoprotein'; the morphological relation is clear but the elements are specialized and unfamiliar to average learners.
Etymology
Apolipoprotein comes from apo- 'away from', lipo- 'fat', and protein. So an apolipoprotein is the protein part that helps carry fats in the blood, which explains its role in moving fats around the body and why doctors check it for heart health.
