Morphology

haematopoietic = haematopoiesis (opaque) = haemato + poiet + ic

The term is built from specialised Greek combining forms (haemato- + -poiet-) and the technical noun 'haematopoiesis', so its structure and meaning are not obvious to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Haematopoietic comes from Greek parts haema- meaning 'blood' and -poietic meaning 'making', and it shares the same root as poet, a 'maker' of poems. So haematopoietic describes parts of the body that 'make' blood or blood cells.
