hemogram = hemo + gram (opaque) = hemo + gram
A specialised medical compound built from Greek combining forms that are unfamiliar to the average B1 learner, so the meaning is not readily derivable from known everyday words.
Etymology
Hemogram comes from Greek parts hemo- meaning 'blood' and -gram meaning 'a record' or 'something written', as in telegram. So, a hemogram is literally a 'record of the blood', which fits the lab test that measures the numbers and types of blood cells.
