Surface Forms

angiology singular

angiologies plural

Morphology

angiology = angio + logy

This is a Greek-derived technical term built from the combining form 'angio' and '-logy', so its meaning is not recoverable from common B1 English vocabulary.

Etymology

Angiology comes from the Greek word angeion meaning 'vessel' and the ending -logy meaning 'study', just like in biology. So angiology is the medical study of the body's vessels that carry blood and lymph, which explains the word's modern meaning.
