Morphology

ulemorrhagia = ule + morrhagia

This is a learned medical formation from classical elements meaning roughly 'gum' and 'bleeding', but the parts are not transparent to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Ulemorrhagia comes from medical word parts: the start ule- refers to the 'gums' and the ending -rrhagia means 'excessive bleeding', as in hemorrhage. So ulemorrhagia is simply heavy or abnormal bleeding of the gums.
