Morphology
anastomotic = anastomosis (opaque) = anastom + otic
The term 'anastomotic' is derived from 'anastomosis', a specialized medical term not commonly known to average learners.
Etymology
The word anastomotic comes from Greek parts ana- 'up' and stoma 'mouth' or 'opening', and it gives the image of making a new 'mouth' between two tubes. So an anastomotic site is where two blood vessels or other tubes are joined by such an opening.
