Morphology

fibroplasia = fibro + plas + ia

The term is compositionally 'fibrous tissue formation', but both parts are specialized classical elements rather than common standalone English words, so the meaning is only partly accessible to typical learners.

Etymology

Fibroplasia comes from fibro- ('fiber' or 'fibrous tissue') and -plasia ('forming'), so it literally means the forming of fibrous tissue and explains why the word is used for the tissue the body builds when a wound heals.
