Morphology
neurogenic = neuro + genic
The meaning is partly recoverable from the medical combining form neuro- ('nerve') and the suffix -genic ('producing or caused by'), but the full technical sense is not obvious to an average learner.
Etymology
Neurogenic comes from the Greek word neuron meaning 'nerve' and the ending -genic meaning 'produced by' or 'born from'. So, something neurogenic is 'produced by' the nerves or the nervous system.
