Morphology

cardiogenic = cardio + genic

The word is built from the combining form cardio- and the learned suffix -genic, so the embryological sense is still only partly transparent.

Etymology

The word cardiogenic uses the same parts, cardio 'heart' and -genic 'producing', and it is the same root you see in cardiac and cardio. In early development it means 'relating to the origin or formation of the heart', so cardiogenic describes the area or factors that help the heart form before birth.
