Morphology
hypoxia = hypo + oxia
This is a technical Greek-derived medical term; although hypo- suggests 'low', the remaining form is not a transparent standalone English base for an average learner.
Etymology
Hypoxia comes from the Greek parts hypo- meaning 'under' and -oxia linked to oxygen, so it literally says 'under oxygen'; that's why hypoxia describes when the body does not get enough oxygen.
