Morphology
hyperglycemia = glycemia (semi-transparent) = hyper + glyc + emia
Adding the productive prefix hyper- clearly conveys excess, but the base glycemia is a technical medical term that many learners will not know.
Etymology
The word hyperglycemia breaks into hyper- meaning 'over' or 'too much', as in hyperactive, and glyc- meaning 'sweet' or 'sugar', seen in glucose. So hyperglycemia means 'too much sugar in the blood', which is why it names the condition of high blood glucose.
