Morphology

thrombosed = thrombose (transparent) = thromb + ose + ed

Formed by the verb 'thrombose' with the regular past-participial suffix '-ed', yielding the adjectival meaning 'affected by a clot'.

Etymology

Thrombosed comes from the Greek root thrombos, which means 'clot'. So when a blood vessel or tissue is thrombosed, it is 'blocked' by a blood clot and cannot carry normal flow.
