Morphology
cardiogenic = cardio + genic
The word is built from the combining form cardio- and the learned suffix -genic, so the meaning is understandable but somewhat technical.
Etymology
The word cardiogenic comes from the root cardio meaning 'heart' and the ending -genic meaning 'producing' or 'causing'. So, when something is cardiogenic it is caused by the heart, for example a shock or fluid in the lungs that comes from heart problems.
