Morphology
myeloid = myelo + oid
The element 'myelo-' is a technical combining form referring to bone marrow and is not a standalone English word, so the meaning is not guessable by an average B1 learner from familiar English components.
Etymology
The word myeloid is made of myel- ('marrow') and -oid ('like'). So myeloid describes cells that are 'like' or 'from' the bone marrow, which is why doctors use it for blood cells made in the marrow.
