Morphology
bacteremic = bacteremia (semi-transparent) = bacter + emia + ic
The suffix '-ic' forms an adjective from 'bacteremia', but the medical context may not be immediately clear to all learners.
Etymology
Bacteremic comes from bacteri- meaning 'bacteria' or 'tiny germs' and -emia meaning 'blood', the same ending you see in anemia. So bacteremic means 'bacteria in the blood', which is why it describes an infection when bacteria are present in the bloodstream.
