Morphology

lymphuria = lymph (semi-transparent) = lymph + uria

Formed from 'lymph' plus the medical combining suffix '-uria' meaning a urine condition; the suffix is specialized medical vocabulary, so the term is partially transparent to non-medical learners.

Etymology

Lymphuria comes from two parts: lymph, the same word you see in lymph node, originally meaning 'clear water' or a pale body fluid, and -uria, which means 'urine'. So lymphuria literally means 'lymph in the urine', which is exactly what the medical term describes.
