Morphology

telangiectatic = telangiectasia (opaque) = tel + angio + ect + atic

The term is derived from medical terminology and is not transparent to the average English learner.

Etymology

Telangiectatic comes from parts like angio- 'vessel' and -ectatic 'widen', with tel- adding the idea of small or end vessels. So a telangiectatic lesion or tumor is one where the blood vessels are 'widened' and can form large, blood-filled spaces.
