Morphology

anginose = angina (semi-transparent) = angin + ose

Formed from angina + the adjectival suffix '-ose'; the relation to angina is clear but the suffix is relatively rare and the base loses its final 'a', so learners may not fully infer the meaning.

Etymology

Anginose comes from angina, a Latin word that meant 'to choke' or 'tightness' and it shares the same root as anguish. So anginose describes the 'choking' or tight chest pain of angina.
