Morphology
coagulopathy = coagulate (opaque) = coagul + opathy
The term uses a technical clotting stem plus the medical element '-opathy' ('disease'), so the meaning is not readily guessable for most learners.
Etymology
Coagulopathy breaks into parts that mean 'clot' and 'disease'. The coagulo- part comes from a word meaning 'to form a clot', as in coagulate, and the -pathy part means 'disease', so coagulopathy is a condition where the blood does not clot normally, causing too much bleeding or unwanted clots.
