Morphology
hypercoagulability = hypercoagulable (semi-transparent) = hyper + coagul + able + ity
The noun is a regular -ity derivation from the adjective hypercoagulable.
Etymology
The word hypercoagulability breaks into three parts: hyper- 'too much', coagul- 'to clot', seen in coagulate, and -ability 'state of'. So, it describes a state where the blood is 'too likely to form clots'.
