Morphology
neovascularization = vascularization (semi-transparent) = neo + vascular + ization
The word is built regularly from 'neo-' + 'vascularization', but the technical biological sense is specialized rather than fully obvious.
Etymology
Neovascularization comes from neo- 'new' and vascular from a root meaning 'vessel', like the English word vessel. So it literally means 'making new vessels' and is used for the normal growth of new blood vessels that helps healing after injury or surgery.
