Morphology

syringeful = syringe (transparent) = syringe + ful

Clear nominal formation from 'syringe' + '-ful' meaning 'an amount that fills a syringe', analogous to 'spoonful'.

Etymology

Syringeful is made of syringe + -ful, and syringe comes from an old Greek word meaning 'tube' while -ful means 'full of'. So a syringeful is the amount of liquid that makes a syringe 'full'.
