hematogenesis singular
hematogeneses plural

Morphology

hematogenesis = genesis (semi-transparent) = hemato + genesis

The term is still built compositionally from 'hemato-' and 'genesis', but the ex vivo laboratory sense is a specialized medical extension rather than a fully everyday meaning.

Etymology

Hematogenesis comes from Greek haima 'blood' and -genesis 'birth' or 'creation', and the -genesis part is like the English word generate meaning 'to make'. So it is also used for making blood cells outside the body, for example in the lab.
