Morphology
hyperglycemic = hyperglycemia (semi-transparent) = hyper + glyco + em + ia + ic
The adjective is a regular medical formation based on hyperglycemia, but the Greek combining forms are specialized and not fully transparent to most learners.
Etymology
Hyperglycemic comes from Greek parts hyper- meaning 'too much', glyc- meaning 'sweet' as in glucose, and -emia meaning 'blood', so it literally means 'having too much sugar in the blood'.
