Morphology

angiogenic = genic (opaque) = angio + genic

Although the word is built from classical combining forms meaning 'vessel' and 'producing', the biomedical meaning is not readily recoverable for an average B1 learner.

Etymology

The word angiogenic comes from two Greek parts: angio- 'vessel' and -genic 'creating'. So angiogenic literally means 'creating vessels', which is why we use it for things that cause new blood vessels to form.
