Morphology

lymphoblast-like = lymphoblast (semi-transparent) = lymph + blast + like

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-like' to the noun 'lymphoblast', clearly indicating resemblance.

Etymology

Lymphoblast-like The word lymphoblast-like joins lymph 'clear body fluid' and blast 'young, growing cell' like a plant bud, so it means 'looking like a young white blood cell'.
