Morphology
HCG = H + C + G
HCG is an initialism whose letters do not correspond to standalone English morphemes; the meaning is only accessible via expansion (human chorionic gonadotropin).
Etymology
HCG is short for human chorionic gonadotropin; human means 'from people', chorionic comes from the chorion, the placenta around the baby, and gonadotropin means 'a hormone that stimulates the sex organs'. So, HCG is the hormone made by the placenta early in pregnancy, which is why pregnancy tests look for it.
